Maintenance of glia in the optic lamina is mediated by EGFR signaling by photoreceptors in adult Drosophila.
The late onset of neurodegeneration in humans indicates that the survival and function of cells in the nervous system must be maintained throughout adulthood. In the optic lamina of the adult Drosophila, the photoreceptor axons are surrounded by multiple types of glia. We demonstrated that the adult...
