Abstract：
:Determining the premalignant lesions that develop into malignant tumours remains a daunting task. Brain tumours are frequently characterised by a block in differentiation, implying that normal developmental pathways become hijacked during tumourigenesis. However, the heterogeneity of stem cells and their progenitors in the brain suggests there are many potential routes to tumour initiation. Studies in Drosophila melanogaster have enhanced our understanding of the tumourigenic potential of distinct cell types in the brain. Here we review recent studies that have improved our knowledge of neural stem cell behaviour during development and in brain tumour models.
