Abstract
Drosophila wing discs are epithelial sac-like organs and a powerful model for investigating the link between proliferation and patterning. Of particular interest is the question of how single cells in the disc integrate information regarding position and growth control, as morphogens that pattern an axis can also regulate cell division. A new Techniques and Resources article in Development reports the application of single cell sequencing technologies to dissociated discs in an effort to understand these problems. We caught up with first author Mingxi Deng and his supervisor Yan Yan, Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), to hear more about the story.
