During interphase in Drosophila neuroblasts, the Centrobin (CNB)-positive daughter centriole retains pericentriolar material (PCM) and organizes an aster that is a key determinant of the orientation ...

Drosophila neuroblasts are a model system for studying asymmetric cell division. Neuroblasts are polarized along their apical–basal axis: apical cortical proteins include the Par protein complex ...

As medulla neuroblasts age, they transition from expressing Opa, then Ey, and then both Opa and Ey (yellow). In the clones where Lola is knocked out, the transitions slow down. view more Credit: Li ...

Peter Mac researchers have discovered new insights into neural stem cell development in fruit flies that may provide answers on how brain tumors grow in humans. Neural stem cells are found in the ...
