Autophagy slows the aging of Germline stem cells in Drosophila through modulation of E-cadherin
Nidhi Murmu, Bhupendra V. Shravage
This study shows that increasing autophagy in Drosophila female germline stem cells delays aging but can lead to cell death if sustained, with E-cadherin playing a key role in maintaining stem cell niche interactions.
