Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling regulates germline stem cell self-renewal in the newly formed Drosophila testis stem cell niche

Merci N Best, Ashley Fidler, Marieke Jones, Matthew J. Wawersik

This study investigates the role of BMP signaling in regulating germline stem cell self-renewal during Drosophila testis niche formation and maturation, finding it critical for germ cell identity and necessary/sufficient for maintaining a self-renewing stem cell population.
