Abstract
Building of the Drosophila abdomen relies on the removal of larval cells and expansion, through proliferation, of a population of progenitor epithelial cells. A new study shows that matrix metalloproteinases produced by larval cells drive basement membrane degradation and proliferative growth of the progenitor epithelial population.
