Glial regenerative response in the imaginal discs of Drosophila melanogaster

Glial cells play a key role during nervous system development and actively participate in all the cellular processes involved in maintaining its structural robustness and functional plasticity. In response to neuronal damage, glial cells proliferate, migrate to the injured region and change their morphology, function, and behavior (Gallo and Deneen, 2014; Kato et al., 2018). This glial regenerative response is associated with the repairing...
