Imp is required for timely exit from quiescence in Drosophila type II neuroblasts
Stem cells must balance proliferation and quiescence, with excess proliferation favoring tumor formation, and premature quiescence preventing proper organogenesis.Drosophila brain neuroblasts are a model for investigating neural stem cell entry and exit from quiescence.Neuroblasts begin proliferating during embryogenesis, enter quiescence prior to
