Snail family genes disrupt cell death and are required for stem cell maintenance in the Drosophila melanogaster ovary

Cell death is an integral part of oogenesis in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. When the fly is starved of protein, some pre-vitellogenic egg chambers die apoptotically. As egg chambers mature, excess germline cells die via a non-apoptotic, developmentally programmed death. Overexpression of th...
