## Abstract Organ size control is a fundamental and core process of development of all multicellular organisms. One important facet of organ size control is the regulation of cell proliferation and cell death. Here we address the question, What are the developmental mechanisms that control intrinsi
## Abstract Size control depends on both the regulation of growth rate and the control over when to stop growing. Studies of __Drosophila melanogaster__ have shown that insulin and Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathways play principal roles in controlling nutrition‐dependent growth rates. A TOR‐mediate
## Abstract Light‐emitting organic nanofibers made of phenyl molecules like __para__‐hexaphenyl (__p__‐6P) and grown on muscovite mica form a model system well‐suited for the study of optics in the sub‐wavelength regime. We demonstrate that __p‐__6P nanofibers can be grown with high control of the
## Abstract The __Drosophila__ salivary gland has emerged as an outstanding model system for the process of organ formation. Many of the component steps, from initial regional specification through cell specialization and morphogenesis, are known and many of the genes required for these different p
