Abstract
In this issue, Ghosh et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202411073) reveal that a hormonal cue induces ovarian stretch follicle cells to cannibalize adjacent nurse cells-a process necessary to remodel egg chambers into viable eggs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
