The last-born daughter cell contributes to division orientation of Drosophila larval neuroblasts
The highly proliferative neuroblasts of the Drosophila larval brain divide over many cell cycles in a polarized manner. Here the authors show that the orientation of the axis of NB divisions is defined by the position of their last-born daughter cell.
