- Title
Cracking open cell death in the Drosophila ovary.
- Authors
Pritchett, Tracy L; Tanner, Elizabeth A; McCall, Kimberly
- Abstract
The Drosophila melanogaster ovary is a powerful yet simple system with only a few cell types. Cell death in the ovary can be induced in response to multiple developmental and environmental signals. These cell deaths occur at distinct stages of oogenesis and involve unique mechanisms utilizing apoptotic, autophagic and perhaps necrotic processes. In this review, we summarize recent progress characterizing cell death mechanisms in the fly ovary.
