Patched (Ptc, green) is expressed in most cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium including follicle stem cells. Hedgehog (Hh, red) accumulates on the surface of the apical cells. Germ cells are i...

Smoothened (Smo; green), a downstream effector of Hedgehog (Hh), is expressed in most cells of the wild-type Drosophila germarium including follicle stem cells, but is excluded from Boi- and Hh-expres...

In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hedgehog (Hh, red) is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellular space of the local follicle stem cell niche (CIL# 13744, 13745). Expression of Boi in ...

boi controls follicle stem cell proliferation. Germaria from wild-type in which germ cells (blue, anti-Vasa) and differentiating follicle cells (red, anti-Fas3) are labeled. Stalks between the germari...

In insect spermiogenesis, mitochondrial cristae disappear and a proteinaceous material is deposited in filaments that become closely packed paracrystalline arrays. In this micrograph, crystals are pr...

At cyst formation in the 'giant' unicellular green alga Acetabularia, each cyst contains a single nucleus which subsequently undergoes several rounds of mitosis prior to gamete formation. Initially t...

The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is activated in follicle stem cells of animals lacking boi (boi[e]; this image), relative to wild-type Drosophila (CIL# 13756), based on activated cubitus interruptus (ci) st...
