Regulation of Epithelial Stem Cell Replacement and Follicle Formation in the Drosophila Ovary
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Though much has been learned about the process of ovarian follicle maturation through studies of oogenesis in both vertebrate and invertebrate systems, less is known about how follicles form initially. In Drosophila, two somatic follicle stem cells (FSCs) in each ovariole give rise to all polar cells, stalk cells, and main body cells needed to form each follicle. We show that one daughter from each FSC founds...
