The regulated elimination of transit-amplifying cells preserves tissue homeostasis during protein starvation in <i>Drosophila</i> testis
12 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
How tissues adapt to varying nutrient conditions is of fundamental importance for robust tissue homeostasis throughout the life of an organism, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that Drosophila testis responds to protein starvation by eliminating transit-amplifying spermatogonia (SG) while maintaining a reduced pool of actively proliferating germline stem cells (GSCs). During...
