Abstract: The ovary in a fruitfly bears follicles that each contain an oocyte and its attendant nurse cells. The oocyte is always found at the posterior pole of the follicle, but how is it positioned there? Two studies show that the cells in the follicle sort themselves out according to the levels of a protein called E-cadherin that they express.
