Quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain are regenerative cells that could be activated therapeutically to repair damage. It is becoming apparent that quiescent NSCs exhibit heterogeneity in their propensity for activation and in the progeny that they generate. We discovered recently that NSCs undergo quiescence in either G<sub>0</sub> or G<sub>2</sub> in the Drosophila brain, challenging the notion that all quiescent stem cells are G<sub>0</sub> arrested. We found that G<sub>2</sub ...[more]
