Abstract
Because Drosophila larvae do not possess intestinal stem cells, it is unknown how damaged gut cells are replenished. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Houtz et al. (2019) show that larvae have a unique gut repair mechanism that involves borrowing stem cells originally reserved for adult gut formation.
