Diffusible fraction of niche BMP ligand safeguards stem-cell differentiation
2022-09-15
Abstract excerpt
Drosophila male germline stem cells (GSCs) reside at the tip of the testis and surround a cluster of niche cells. It has been believed that the niche-derived Decapentaplegic (Dpp) has a role in maintaining stem cells in close proximity but has no role in the differentiating cells spaced one-cell layer away. However, the range of Dpp diffusion has never been tested. Here, using genetically encoded nanobodies called...
