Investigating Tissue Regeneration Using the DUAL Control Genetic Ablation System

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Genetic ablation is a highly efficient method to study regeneration in vivo by stimulating tissue-specific cell death that subsequently induces regrowth and repair in a developing organism. This approach has been particularly successful in Drosophila, for which various temperature-based genetic ablation tools have been developed to explore the complexities of regeneration in larval imaginal discs. Here, we describe the use of a recently established ablation system called DUAL Control, which can be used to both characterize the damage response and genetically manipulate blastema cells to identify novel regulators of regeneration.
