Tissue damage disrupts developmental progression and ecdysteroid biosynthesis in Drosophila.

In humans, chronic inflammation, severe injury, infection and disease can result in changes in steroid hormone titers and delayed onset of puberty; however the pathway by which this occurs remains largely unknown. Similarly, in insects injury to specific tissues can result in a global developmental...
