Insect metamorphosis: out with the old, in with the new.
During insect metamorphosis, the steroid hormone ecdysone activates programmed cell death of larval tissues and the further development of adult tissues. Recent studies suggest that the E93 gene is both necessary and sufficient to target tissues for ecdysone-induced apoptosis.
