title = "Myc in stem cell behaviour: Insights from Drosophila",
abstract = "The Myc family proteins are key regulators of animal growth and development, which have critical roles in modulating stem cell behaviour. Since the identification of the oncogenic potential of c-Myc in the early 1980s the mammalian Myc family, which is comprised of c-Myc, N-Myc, and L-Myc, has been studied extensively. dMyc, the only Drosophila member of the Myc gene family, is orthologous to the mammalian c-Myc oncoprotein. Here we discuss key studies addressing the function of the Myc family in stem cell behaviour in both Drosophila Models and mammalian systems.",
