The Hox gene Abd-B controls stem cell niche function in the Drosophila testis

Proper niche architecture is critical for stem cell function, yet only few upstream regulators are known. Here, we report that the Hox transcription factor Abdominal-B (Abd-B), active in premeiotic spermatocytes of Drosophila testes, is essential for positioning the niche to the testis anterior by r...
