E-cadherin is required for centrosome and spindle orientation in Drosophila male germline stem cells.

E-cadherin is required for centrosome and spindle orientation in Drosophila male germline stem cells.

Many adult stem cells reside in a special microenvironment known as the niche, where they receive essential signals that specify stem cell identity. Cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin and integrin plays a crucial role in maintaining stem cells within the niche. In Drosophila melanogaster, male...
