Abstract
Asymmetric cell division is a fundamental means of generating cell-fate diversity. Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of asymmetric cell division in the Drosophila nervous system has advanced greatly in recent years, and insights gained from it might help to unravel the role of asymmetric cell division in the development of vertebrate nervous systems.
