Cellular Analyses of the Mitotic Region in the Caenorhabditis elegans Adult Germ Line
3 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
The Caenorhabditis elegans germ line provides a model for understanding how signaling from a stem cell niche promotes continued mitotic divisions at the expense of differentiation. Here we report cellular analyses designed to identify germline stem cells within the germline mitotic region of adult hermaphrodites. Our results support several conclusions. First, all germ cells within the mitotic region are actively...
