Region-specific apoptosis limits neural stem cell proliferation.
Region-specific apoptosis limits neural stem cell proliferation. Neuron Brand, A. H., van Roessel, P. J. 2003; 37 (2): 185–87Abstract
Regulation of stem cell division is of particular interest, both for studies of development and for stem cell therapeutics. In this issue of Neuron, Bello et al. show that the number of divisions of Drosophila neural stem cells is limited, in a region-specific manner, by regulated apoptosis in response to a pulse of expression of the Hox gene abdominal-A (abdA).
