Abstract excerpt
Germline stem cells are maintained in the distal region of the C. elegans gonad. These cells undergo mitotic divisions, and GLP-1/Notch signaling dictates whether they remain in this state. The somatic distal tip cell (DTC) caps the end of the distal gonad and is essential for maintenance of the germline mitotic zone. As germ cells move away from the DTC they exit mitosis and enter early meiotic prophase. Here we...
