Apoptosis and Autophagy Function Cooperatively for the Efficacious Execution of Programmed Nurse Cell Death During<i>Drosophila virilis</i>Oogenesis
27 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death consists of two major types, apoptotic and autophagic, both of which are mainly defined by morphological criteria. Our findings indicate that both types of programmed cell death occur in the ovarian nurse cells during middle- and late-oogenesis of Drosophila virilis. During mid-oogenesis, the spontaneously degenerated egg chambers exhibit typical characteristics of apoptotic cell death....
