The follicle cell monolayer that encircles each developing Drosophila oocyte contributes actively to egg development and patterning, and also represents a model stem cell-derived epithelium. We have identified mutations in the receptor-like transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase Lar that disorganize follicle formation, block egg chamber elongation and disrupt Oskar localization, which is an indicator of oocyte...
