Abstract
In Drosophila imaginal discs, viable cells are outcompeted by their faster growing neighbors in a process called "cell competition." A new study in this issue of Developmental Cell identifies the membrane protein Flower as being specifically induced in the outcompeted cells and required for their ensuing apoptosis.
