adult midgut progenitor cell [FBbt_00000449]
A cell that is a progenitor of the adult midgut and occupies a basal position in the midgut epithelium. It divides during larval stages to form clusters called midgut imaginal islands. Its first division is asymmetric and produces a peripheral cell, subsequent divisions generate more adult midgut progenitor cells (Mathur et al., 2010).

Cell Larva
A cell that is a progenitor of the adult midgut and occupies a basal position in the midgut epithelium. It divides during larval stages to form clusters called midgut imaginal islands. Its first division is asymmetric and produces a peripheral cell, subsequent divisions generate more adult midgut progenitor cells (Mathur et al., 2010).
These cells can be identified by their expression of escargot (Jiang and Edgar, 2009).
