Figure 1. Adult Drosophila IPCs modulate metabolism, stress response, fecundity and longevity. A diagram (A) and fluorescent micrograph (B) of adult DILP producing cells (IPCs) in the pars intercerebralis region of the Drosophila brain. The visualization of adult IPCs was achieved via GFP expression in dilp2-Gal4/UAS-GFP flies [11]. C. A summary of physiological and behavioral effects of adult-specific partial IPC ablation. Scale bar, 100 μm.
