Figure 5

E-cadherin expression in Drosophila progenitors (DPs) treated with (a) BDNF (N = 20), (b) Pyr (N = 10), (c) insulin (N = 18), and (d) control (media only, N = 20). Red indicates E-cadherin molecules and blue indicates DAPI nuclear staining. (e) E-cadherin expression levels for each group normalized to control. Significantly higher E-cadherin expression is observed in the Pyr-treated group compared to control ().
