Intestinal epithelium-derived BMP controls stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila adult midgut

Intestinal epithelium-derived BMP controls stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila adult midgut

Stem cells are maintained in a specialized microenvironment called niche but the nature of stem cell niche remains poorly defined in many systems. Here we demonstrate that intestinal epithelium-derived BMP serves as a niche signal for intestinal stem cell (ISC) self-renewal in Drosophila adult midgu...
