Abstract excerpt
Snail, a zinc-finger transcription factor, controls the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and ectopic expression of this protein may produce cells with stem cell properties. Because the effect of Snail expression in ovarian epithelial cells remains unclear, we generated Drosophila ovarian follicle stem cells (FSCs) with homozygous Scutoid (Sco) mutation. The Sco mutation is a reciprocal transposition...
