Establishing a long-term ex vivo observation of the intestinal stem cell (ISC) is crucial to help understand the formation and homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. Here, we present a protocol for tracking the division of Drosophila pupal ISCs during pupal midgut development. We describe steps for dissecting, mounting, and live imaging the pupal midgut. We then detail procedures for fluorescence quantification of each cell. This protocol can be applied to other fluorescently tagged proteins. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wu et al. Protocol for tracking the division of Drosophila pupal intestinal cells Dissection of the pupa to obtain the pupal midgut Mounting and live imaging of the pupal midgut and protein quantification Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
