The SLC36 transporter Pathetic is required for neural stem cell proliferation and for brain growth under nutrition restriction

Abstract Background Drosophila neuroblasts (NBs) are neural stem cells whose maintenance relies on Notch activity. NBs proliferate throughout larval stages to generate a large number of adult neurons. Their proliferation is protected under conditions of nutrition restriction but the mechanisms respo...
