Cell fate regulation is a central component of maintaining tissue homeostasis, yet the mechanisms instructing cell division diversity in tissue-specific stem cells have not been well understood. A new study uncovers a central role for microtubule motor–regulating protein Lis1 in hematopoietic stem cell fate determination and in leukemogenesis.
