JCS snapshot – Live imaging of epithelial phagocyte differentiation in the Drosophila ovary reveals transient and novel behaviours

Posted by , on 11 August 2026

In our latest JCS snapshot we hear from Caique Almeida Machado Costa, who, together with Wu-Min Deng and team, used time-lapse imaging to uncover dynamic behaviours during epithelial-to-phagocyte differentiation, including migration, delamination, long-range target capture and cell engulfment. In this snapshot, Cai take us through the key findings from their research.
