Abstract excerpt
Abdomen and germ cell development of Drosophila melanogaster embryo requires proper localization of oskar mRNA to the posterior pole of the developing oocyte. oskar mRNA localization depends on complex cell biological events like cell-cell communication, dynamic rearrangement of the microtubule network, and function of the actin cytoskeleton of the oocyte. To investigate the cellular mechanisms involved, we...
