Somatic Cells of the Drosophila ovary (A) DAPI-stained egg chambers containing 15 NCs and a single oocyte. This syncytium of 16 cells is surrounded by a layer of smaller epithelial FCs. (B) A detailed schematic of an ovariole with the somatic cells in color and the germline cells, stem cells, and niche in grey (see color scheme in Figure 2C). The FCs are produced by the follicle cell stem cells found in region 2A of the germarium. (C) A detailed schematic of an ovariole with the somatic cells in color and the germline cells, stem cells, and niche in grey.
