The directed movement of a border cell through the nurse cells to reach the oocyte. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The process that occurs during oogenesis involving the ovarian follicle cells, somatic cells which surround the germ cells of an ovary. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The directed movement of an ovarian follicle cell that takes place during oogenesis. During egg chamber formation, follicle cells migrate to envelop the germ-line cysts and move in between cysts. At stage 10B, follicle cells migrate centripetally between the nurse cells and the oocyte, enclosing the anterior of the egg. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
