A single-cell atlas and lineage analysis of the adult Drosophila ovary

Cell types in the adult Drosophila ovary vary during homeostasis and differing environmental conditions. Here, the authors use single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify 26 ovarian cell populations and show cellular plasticity in which escort cells can convert to follicle stem cells upon starvation.
