The developmental potential of stem cells and progenitor cells must be functionally distinguished to ensure the generation of diverse cell types while maintaining the stem cell pool throughout the lifetime of an organism. In contrast to stem cells, progenitor cells possess restricted developmental potential, allowing them to give rise to only a limited number of post-mitotic progeny. Failure to establish or maintain restricted progenitor cell potential can perturb tissue development and homeostasis, and probably contributes to tumor initiation. Recent studies using the developing fruit fly Drosophila larval brain have provided molecular insight into how the developmental potential is restricted in neural progenitor cells.
