This paper describes an ex-vivo protocol for extended live imaging of adult Drosophila brains to study cell competition over 32 hours.

This study examines Azot expression dynamics after traumatic brain injury in Drosophila, showing increased apoptotic elimination of 'loser' cells and expanded cell competition to include both neurons and glia.

This study characterizes heterotypic competition between cancer cells and hepatocytes, showing varying competitiveness and its impact on metastatic phenotypes.

This study identifies Ikebana as a modulator of Flower-dependent cell competition, showing its role in regulating loser cell elimination in various contexts.

This study examines the dynamics of Flower-dependent cell competition markers in Drosophila over 28 days, revealing that Azot is not required for loser cell elimination and that most apoptotic cells express both Fwe LB and Azot.
