Damage to the Drosophila follicle cell epithelium produces “false clones” with apparent polarity phenotypes
Summary The Drosophila follicular epithelium, which surrounds developing egg chambers, is a well-established model for studying epithelial polarity because it is continuously generated from adult stem cells, making it easy to generate homozygous mutant clones in a heterozygous background. Mutant clo...
