Stem cell niche signaling goes both ways

Stem cell niches are well-characterized factories of signaling information, but niche cells themselves also rely on their neighbors for fate maintenance. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Herrera et al. reveal bi-directional communication between Drosophila testis niche “hub” cells and somatic cy...

Description
Summary:Stem cell niches are well-characterized factories of signaling information, but niche cells themselves also rely on their neighbors for fate maintenance. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Herrera et al. reveal bi-directional communication between Drosophila testis niche “hub” cells and somatic cyst stem cells. Stem cell niches are well-characterized factories of signaling information, but niche cells themselves also rely on their neighbors for fate maintenance. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Herrera et al. reveal a bi-directional communication between Drosophila testis niche “hub” cells and somatic cyst stem cells.
