This requires an agreement by stakeholders to embrace the common good. It will also need strong leadership and a willingness to embrace fundamental change.

The death of the nurse cells is controlled non-autonomously and is precipitated by epithelial follicle cells of somatic origin acquiring a squamous morphology and acidifying the nurse cells externally.
