摘要
Two studies, one in this issue of Cell (Betschinger et al., 2006) and the other in Developmental Cell (Lee et al., 2006a) show that the cell-fate determinant Brain Tumor (Brat) suppresses self-renewal in one of the daughter cells that arise from the asymmetric division of a neural stem cell. This work suggests a mechanism by which loss of polarity in stem cells may lead to tumorigenesis.
