Escort cell encapsulation of Drosophila germline cells is maintained by irre cell recognition module proteins

Differentiation of germline stem cells (GSCs) in the Drosophila ovary is induced by somatic escort cells (ECs), which extend membrane protrusions encapsulating the germline cells (GCs).Germline encapsulation requires activated epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr) signaling within the ECs, following secretion of its ligands from the GCs.We show t
