The deposition and apolysis of insect cuticles have long been known to be regulated by ecdysone. Unsclerotized, chitin-containing procuticles contain evolutionarily conserved, hydrophobic proteins that are soluble in solutions of denaturing agents. The pupal procuticle of Drosophila is deposited by

Sixteen years ago, lichael Ashburner and his colleagues proposed a hierarchical model for the genetic control of polytene chromosome puffing by the steroid hormone ecdysone. The recent molecular isolation and characterization of three early ecdysone-inducible genes has confirmed many aspects of this
## Abstract Treatment of larvae of the ascidians __Boltenia villosa__ (Family: Pyuridae) and __Cnemidocarpa finmarkiensis__ (Family: Styelidae) with drugs that inhibit the function of the molecular chaperone HSP90 increased the frequency of tail resorption, the primary morphogenetic event of metamo
## Abstract Steroid hormones control a wide variety of cellular functions important for cell homeostasis, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Evidence collected in the last few years indicates that this regulation is mediated by a complex interface of direct control of gene expression (s
## 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
