Host autophagy mediates organ wasting and nutrient mobilization for tumor growth

The paper shows that host autophagy drives organ wasting and nutrient mobilization to support tumor growth in Drosophila.

Natural abundance isotope ratios to differentiate sources of carbon used during tumor growth in vivo

This paper uses natural isotope ratios to track carbon sources in tumor growth in Drosophila larvae, finding that tumors primarily derive carbon from host tissues.
