Control of Intestinal Cell Fate by Dynamic Mitotic Spindle Repositioning Influences Epithelial Homeostasis and Longevity

Summary: Tissue homeostasis depends on precise yet plastic regulation of stem cell daughter fates.During growth, Drosophila intestinal stem cells (ISCs) adjust fates by switching from asymmetric to symmetric lineages to scale the size of the ISC population.Using a combination of long-term live imaging, lineage tracing, and genetic perturbations, we
