Melanization regulates wound healing by limiting polyploid cell growth in the Drosophila epithelium post injury

Immunofluorescent images (czi files) of the adult Drosophila ventral epithelium captured in studying the role of melanization in fruit fly wound healing. Key: UI, uninjured and 3 days post injury (3dpi) in wild-type (w1118) vs PPOnull strain. Also channel 0= DAPI, channel 1= Grh (epithelial nuclear marker), and channel 2= FasIII (epithelial cell junction marker).
