Abstract:In multicellular lives, differentiation of many types of stem and progenitor cells is often accompanied by a metabolic transition from glycolysis to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The mechanisms driving this metabolic transition in vivo are largely unknown. Here, we show that, during differentiation of the Drosophila female germline cyst, the surrounding somatic cells compress the cyst and increase the tension of cyst cells’ membranes. Transmembrane channel-like, an evolutionarily conserved ion chann… Show more
