Programmed cell death during Drosophila embryogenesis (original) (raw)

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a critical aspect of metazoan development, characterized by distinct morphological stages known as apoptosis. This research explores the mechanisms and patterns of PCD during Drosophila embryogenesis, using methods such as acridine orange staining to visualize cell death. The findings highlight specific regions and stages of embryogenesis where cell death is prevalent and underscore the need for further investigation into the molecular pathways that regulate this process.
