Pruning is an important neuronal remodeling process that fine-tunes the neuronal circuit and it was found to share similarities with neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of pruning remained unknown. Here, we used the Drosophila dorsal dendritic arborization (ddaC) neurons a...
