Tumour rewires host tryptophan metabolism to promote organism-wide immune suppression

Lucia García-López, Ernesto Saez-Carrion, Mary Luz Uribe, Carmen Gómez‐Escolar, Esther Ballesta‐Illán, Jason M. Tennessen, María Domínguez

This study shows that Pten-deficient Drosophila tumours reprogram host tryptophan metabolism to suppress immunity and promote tumour growth through the kynurenine pathway.

Neuroendocrine control of catch-up growth in Drosophila

Diana M. Vallejo, Ernesto Saez-Carrion, Lucia García-López, Roberto Santoro, María Domínguez

This study identifies Lgr4 as a key regulator of catch-up growth in Drosophila following starvation, showing it prevents IGF-induced ecdysone rise to enable faster growth and maturation.
