Loss of the distal-proximal GLP-1/Notch activation gradient in the aging C. elegans germline
{{output}}
In C. elegans hermaphrodites, the distal tip cells (DTCs) capping the gonad arms provide a Notch ligand, the niche signal that maintains germline stem cell pools. Using fixed germlines, it was recently shown that the transcription of a Notch target gene decrea... ...
