Amplification of neural stem cell proliferation by intermediate progenitor cells in <it>Drosophila </it>brain development

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In the mammalian brain, neural stem cells divide asymmetrically and often amplify the number of progeny they generate via symmetrically dividing intermediate progenitors. Here we investigate whether specific neural stem cell-like neu...
