Delayed glial clearance of degenerating axons in aged Drosophila is due to reduced PI3K/Draper activity
Glial engulfment declines with age, but the mechanism is unclear. Here authors show that in the Drosophilaolfactory system, glial phagocytosis of injury-induced degenerating axons decreases with age due to reduced PI3K/Draper activity, and restoring Draper in aged glia rescues such defects.
