Bio
A major goal in stem cell biology is to understand how the balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation is controlled. Signals from neighboring cells are key regulators of stem cells. However, identifying these signals has proven very difficult in many systems, since the precise location of stem cells is usually unknown. However, by studying stem cells that sustain spermatogenesis in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, we have begun to get a much clearer idea of stem cell regulation. In this tissue, germ line stem cells (GSCs,) attach to a cluster of non-dividing somatic cells called the hub. When a GSC divides, its daughter is pushed away from the hub and differentiates into a gonialblast (GB). Somatic stem cells called Cyst Progenitor Cells, are also anchored at the hub, and produce cyst cells that form an envelope around each GB to support its development. We can readily see all of the cells comprising this stem cell niche by confocal microscopy.
