The fly, a model for medicine
After entering the egg, the centrosome (red) associated with the paternal nucleus (upper blue circle) organizes a microtubule network (green) that facilitates its fusion with the maternal nucleus (lower blue circle). Asterless is one of the proteins requi

Connecting cancer to the asymmetric division of stem cells
(c)EMBL. Left: Normal dividing neuroblasts create a large new cell and a smaller cell destined to become part of a nerve. Right: If molecules aren't put in the right places, this asymmetric division doesn't occur and a tumor develops.
