Don’t Get Mad: For Stem Cells, Location is Destiny
Investigating how stem cells turn into new tissue, while remaining stem cells
The lefthand image shows two cells just after they have divided; the turquoise cell on the upper left remains a germline stem cell, while the green cell on the lower right is transforming into an egg cell. The right hand image shows the concentration of active Mad in the cells. The germline stem cell on the upper left has much more active Mad, and so is a brighter blue than the egg cell (Courtesy of Mayu Inaba). Copy Link
