Multi-modal comparison of molecular programs driving nurse cell death and clearance in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis
3 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
The death and clearance of nurse cells is a consequential milestone in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis. In preparation for oviposition, the germline-derived nurse cells bequeath to the developing oocyte all their cytoplasmic contents and undergo programmed cell death. The death of the nurse cells is controlled non-autonomously and is precipitated by epithelial follicle cells of somatic origin acquiring a...
