In stem cell niches, the spatial extent of growth factor signaling needs to be tightly controlled. A new study on the Drosophila testicular germline stem cell niche has revealed that BMP signaling is locally activated through linkage to adherens junctions.
在干细胞龛中,生长因子信号的空间范围需要被严格控制。一项关于果蝇生殖干细胞龛的新研究表明,BMP 信号通过与黏着连接的连接而被局部激活。
