The principles of asymmetric cell division. (A) Different modes of cell division. (B) Steps leading to the asymmetric partitioning of fate-determining factors. (C) Asymmetric inheritance of lysosomes is linked to asymmetric hHSC fate. (D) Daughter cells receiving more lysosomes inherit fewer active mitochondria in hHSCs, the function of which is unknown.
