Asymmetric cell division: fly neuroblast meets worm zygote

C Q Doe et al. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

Both Drosophila neuroblasts and Caenorhabditis elegans zygotes use a conserved protein complex to establish cell polarity and regulate spindle orientation. Mammalian epithelia also use this complex to regulate apical/basal polarity. Recent results have allowed us to compare the mechanisms regulating asymmetric cell division in Drosophila neuroblasts and the C. elegans zygote.
