General Information
Term nurse cell apoptotic process ID (Ontology) GO:0045476 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Any apoptotic process in a nurse cell. During late oogenesis, following the transfer of substances from the nurse cells to the oocyte, nurse cell remnants are cleared from the egg chamber by apoptotic process.[ PubMed:11973306 ]
Also Known As "apoptosis of nurse cells" ; "nurse cell programmed cell death by apoptosis" ; "programmed cell death of nurse cells by apoptosis"
