## Abstract The digestive systems in mammals and __Drosophila__ are quite different in terms of their complexity and organization, but their biological functions are similar. The __Drosophila__ midgut is a functional equivalent of the mouse small intestine. Adult intestinal stem cells (ISCs) have b
## Abstract Renewing tissues in the adult organism such as the gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium depend on stem cells for epithelial maintenance and repair. Yet, little is known about the developmental origins of adult stem cells and their niches. Studies of Drosophila adult midgut precursors (AMPs)
## Abstract Stem cellβmediated tissue repair is a promising approach for many diseases. Mammalian intestine is an actively regenerating tissue such that epithelial cells are constantly shedding and underlying precursor cells are constantly replenishing the loss of cells. An imbalance of these proce
## Abstract Over the past 2 years, our understanding of intestinal stem cells in the __Drosophila__ posterior midgut has advanced greatly. In this review, I will focus on the establishment of these stem cells in their niche during development and the molecular mechanisms that regulate their asymmet
