Stem cells achieve the remarkable task of generating both identical copies of themselves and lineage-restricted daughter cells that ultimately undergo terminal differentiation. The differential regulation of ribosomal protein biosynthesis helps to generate these two outcomes in Drosophila melanogaster.
