Tumour-driven lipid accumulation in oenocytes reflects systemic lipid alterations

Chang Liu, Sofya Golenkina, Natasha Fahey, Priya Kumar, Louise Y Cheng

This study shows that oenocytes in Drosophila accumulate lipids in response to tumor signals, reflecting systemic lipid metabolism changes, but do not preserve muscle function during cachexia.

Convergent Insulin and TGF-β signalling drives cancer cachexia by promoting aberrant fatbody ECM accumulation in a Drosophila tumour model

Daniel Bakopoulos, Sofya Golenkina, Callum Dark, Elizabeth L. Christie, Besaiz J. Sánchez-Sánchez, Brian Marc Stramer, Louise Y Cheng

This study identifies insulin and TGF-β signaling convergence in Drosophila adipose tissue that drives ECM accumulation and muscle wasting in a tumor model.

Glial Hedgehog and lipid metabolism regulate neural stem cell proliferation in Drosophila

Qian Dong, Michael Zavortink, Francesca Froldi, Sofya Golenkina, Tammy Lam, Louise Y Cheng

This study shows that glial Hedgehog signaling and lipid metabolism regulate neural stem cell proliferation in Drosophila by modulating Hh signaling through lipid droplets and palmitoylation.
