摘要: The majority of immune cells in Drosophila melanogaster are plasmatocytes; they carry out similar functions to vertebrate macrophages, influencing development as well protecting against infection and cancer. Plasmatocytes, sometimes referred with the broader term hemocytes, migrate widely during embryonic cycle larvae between sessile circulating positions. Here we discuss similarities plasmatocyte developmental migration its that considering recent controversy regarding PDGF/VEGF related ligands. We also examine findings on significance adhesion for embryo, proliferation, trans-differentiation, tumor responses larva. spotlight parallels throughout responses.
