The image showcases regenerating tissue from Drosophila larval wing imaginal disc, captured in a top-down (XY) view alongside orthogonal views (YZ and XZ planes). The tissue is stained to highlight different structures: DAPI marks nuclei (blue), actin highlights the cytoskeleton (red), the plasma membrane is shown in magenta, and dying cells are labeled in green.

In the Smith-Bolton lab, we investigate tissue regeneration in Drosophila larval wing imaginal discs. This image focuses on the regenerating wing disc pouch, where cell debris (green) indicates areas of damage, and the regenerating tissue is prominently marked by actin (red), highlighting the structural changes during the repair process.
