Early female germline development in <i>Xenopus laevis</i> : stem cells, nurse cells and germline cysts

2025-07-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In Drosophila, germline cysts arise through synchronous mitotic divisions and acquire a polarized architecture organized by the fusome, which guides oocyte specification and supports meiotic progression. Similar cyst structures exist in non-mammalian vertebrate ovaries, but their polarity and function have remained uncertain. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and high-resolution imaging, we recon...
