Larval fat body cells die during the early pupal stage in the frame of metamorphosis remodelation in Bombyx mori
In holometabolus insects, morphology of the larval fat body is remodeled during metamorphosis. In higher Diptera, remodeling of the fat body is achieved by cell death of larval fat body cells and differentiation of the adult fat body from primordial cells. However, little is known about remodeling o...
