Nurse Cell Function

Nurse Cell Function is a biological process in which specialized maternal cells provide essential gene products, organelles, and developmental determinants to the oocyte through cytoplasmic bridges, thereby establishing the initial anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes of the embryo by enabling the spatial regulation of maternal effect gene expression.
