Plasma membrane overgrowth causes fibrotic collagen accumulation and immune activation in Drosophila adipocytes

Many chronic diseases are associated with fibrotic deposition of Collagen and other matrix proteins. Little is known about the factors that determine preferential onset of fibrosis in particular tissues. Here we show that plasma membrane (PM) overgrowth causes pericellular Collagen accumulation in D...
