Cell turnover: flexible coupling meets the needs of development.
The identification of Drosophila genes that inhibit proliferation while simultaneously promoting apoptosis--decreasing cell number--or that promote proliferation while simultaneously inhibiting apoptosis--increasing cell number--has revealed new ways that cell birth and death may be coupled to meet the needs of development.
