Background: Mothers stockpile nuclear pores (NPCs) in the cytoplasm of their eggs to enable embryonic cell cycles that are too fast for conventional NPC assembly (bit.ly/ALembryo). These are arranged in stacked ER sheets called Annulate Lamellae (AL, see 4/11).

These are Drosophila egg chambers; where the growing oocyte is transcriptionally silent, while so-called nurse cells produce the material for its development and transport it to the front. We wanted to see if this includes AL and whether they accumulate over time.
