Xrp1 drives damage-induced cellular plasticity of enteroendocrine cells in the adult Drosophila midgut

Qingyin Qian, Hiroki Nagai, Yuya Sanaki, Makoto Hayashi, Kenichi Kimura, Yu-ichiro Nakajima, Ryusuke Niwa

This study identifies Xrp1 as a key driver of damage-induced cellular plasticity in Drosophila enteroendocrine cells, enabling dedifferentiation and re-differentiation during regeneration.
