Germline stem cell division and egg chamber development in transplanted Drosophila germaria.

Abstract excerpt

Germline and somatic stem cells reside within the anterior region (or "germarium") of each ovariole in the Drosophila ovary. When individual germaria were dissected free of developing eggs and sheath tissue and transplanted into the abdominal cavity of a host fly, they regenerated ovariole-like structures and continuously supported the entire process of oogenesis, indicating that the stem cells remained...
