Abstract

Tissue stem cells are typically rare and located in niches that prescribe low rates of cell division and survival. In the latest issue of Cell Stem Cell, Singh et al. (2007) demonstrate that, in the adult fly, epithelial cells exist that are neither in niches nor in small numbers, divide at high rates, and are multipotent.
