...Alejandra Clark; Carine Meignin; Ilan Davis The primary axes of Drosophila are set up by the localization of transcripts within the oocyte. These mRNAs originate in the nurse cells, but how they move into the oocyte remains poorly understood. Here, we study the path and mechanism of movement...

... ovary, Dacapo present in the oocyte nucleus prevents it from undergoing DNA endoreplication,helping to maintain it in prophase I of meiosis(Hong et al., 2003). These findings suggested a possible mechanism whereby dMyc-mediated inhibition of dacapo gene expression in nurse cells might facilitate...

...Herwig O. Gutzeit; Erwin Huebner ABSTRACT The localization of F-actin (microfilaments) in the nurse cells of ovarian follicles has been studied in 12 different insect species by fluorescence microscopy after specifically staining F-actin with rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin. In the analysed species...
