Growth arrest and autophagy are required for salivary gland cell degradation in Drosophila. (2007, positive): “Cell death restricts tissue growth under conditions of cell competition during development ( de la Cova et al., 2004; Moreno and Basler, 2004), but the influence that growth may have on the regulation of cell death remains unclear.”
The influence of cell mechanics, cell-cell interactions, and proliferation on epithelial packing. (2007, background): “Furthermore, cells that differ from their neighbors in signaling capacity [22, 23], growth rate [24, 25], or cytoskeletal organization [26] are extruded from the epithelium, even when cell death is prevented.”
