Collective cell sorting requires contractile cortical waves in germline cells
2020-01-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Encapsulation of germline cells by layers of somatic cells forms the basic unit of female reproduction called primordial follicles in mammals and egg chambers in Drosophila . How germline and somatic tissues are coordinated for the morphogenesis of each separated unit remains poorly understood. Here, using improved live-imaging of Drosophila ovaries, we uncovered periodic actomyosin waves at t...
