Fig. 3. Midbody ring inheritance and the centrosome.

Fig. 3

A. The cell with the mother centrosome inherits the mother centrosome and midbody ring. Stem cells and cancer cells were reported to accumulate and/or release the midbody ring (see the text for detail).

B. Drosophila male GSCs, which inherit the mother centrosome, exclude the midbody ring upon division. The midbody ring that is inherited by the differentiating gonialblast is eventually released and ingested by neighboring somatic cells.
