Neural progenitor cells Lawrence et al. (2004) When nestin+ multi-potential cells are differentiated towards a neuronal lineage post-infection, there is a negligible increase in virus rephcation. When these cells were transfected with a pNL4-3 molecular clone and stimulated with TNP-a, there is an upregulation in virus production, suggestive of reactivation from latency...

The cell cycle machinery and asymmetric cell division of neural progenitors in the Drosophila embryonic central nervous system... 

In Pins - embryos the initiation steps of apical complex formation occur normally. However, this complex cannot be maintained in mitotic neuroblasts. Hence, the importance of the maintenance of this complex for asymmetric cell division can be ascertained by assessing how Pins- neural progenitors divide. Pins- embryos exhibit all of the defects seen in insc mutants. Mitotic spindle orientation is defective. In the cells of mitotic domain 9 the 90° reorientation, which normally occurs in wild-type resulting in the orientation of the spindle along the apical—basal axis (Fig. 3A), fails to occur in the mutant (Fig. 3B). Mitotic spindle orientation of neuroblasts in the segmented CNS, deduced from DNA staining, also often fails to...
