Abstract

Multiciliated cells are considered terminally differentiated, yet tissues bearing them are remodeled during development and after injury. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Tasca et al. (2021) show that multiciliated epithelial cells are lost via two different Notch-dependent processes, apoptosis and transdifferentiation, during developmental remodeling of the Xenopus epidermis.Multiciliated cells are considered terminally differentiated, yet tissues bearing them are remodeled during development and after injury.
