Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Orchestrated control of proliferation of multiple cell types is essential for building a healthy organ. Here we use larval ovary development in Drosophila melanogaster as a model to understand the homeostasis of somatic and germ line cells in the formation of the female adult reproductive organ. We previously showed that the highly conserved Hippo signaling pathway regulates proliferation of both germ line and somatic cells in the D. melanogaster larval ovary. Response to Hippo signaling appeared to be mediated by different genetic mechanisms in germ line and soma, but the mechanism allowing distinct responses to the same signaling pathway remained unknown. Here we perform cell type-specific RNA-Seq of isolated germ line and somatic cells from the developing ovary at multiple time points spanning the formation of germ line stem cell niches, in either a Hippo signaling loss- or gain-of-function genetic background. Applying network analysis to these data revealed a novel regulator of ovarian development, the transcription factor chinmo . Subsequent experimental validation showed that chinmo acts as a key germ cell-specific translator of Hippo signaling in the developing ovary, allowing the Hippo signal to be transduced in cell type-specific ways in germ line and somatic cells within the same organ.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
