Comment on "Dynamics of dpp signaling and proliferation control"


Schwank, G; Yang, S F; Restrepo, S; Basler, K (2012). Comment on "Dynamics of dpp signaling and proliferation control". Science, 335(6067):401.

Abstract

Wartlick et al. (Research Articles, 4 March 2011, p. 1154) reported that growth rates in the Drosophila wing disc correlate with increasing Dpp signaling levels, suggesting that the rate of Dpp increase determines the cell-cycle length. Contradicting their model, we found that cells in which the increase of Dpp signaling levels was genetically abrogated grew at rates comparable to those of wild-type cells.
