This review illustrates facultative use of either symmetric or asymmetric cell division in stem cells. Asymmetric division is a tool that stem cells can use to maintain the appropriate number of progeny, whereas the transition to symmetric divisions is also crucial for adult regenerative capacity.

During the division of a germline stem cell in Drosophila testis, the mother centrosome remains adjacent to the stromal cell, named the hub. The stem cell permanently retains the mother centrosome across many cell divisions, thus ensuring asymmetric division. The investigators have also shown that the mother centrosomes remained anchored to the stem cell niche interface throughout the cell cycle by attachment to astral microtubules connected to adherence junction. Differential centrosomal inheritance is therefore essential to stem cell biology.

Upon initial division of primitive HSCs, the two daughter cells were separated and tested for their developmental capacity. Surprisingly, the vast majority of the most primitive progenitor cells gave rise to daughter cells that adopt different cell fates. This work supports the model of asymmetric cell division in which one daughter cell becomes more specialized whereas the other adopts the fate of the mother cell.
