This study identifies cooperative and suppressive interclonal interactions during early Ras-driven tumourigenesis using a Drosophila model, revealing key modifiers like SWI/SNF and cell competition regulators.

This study shows that oncogenic RasV12 activates Dorsal/NF-κB signaling, promoting tumor growth and malignancy in Drosophila melanogaster tumors.

The paper introduces EyaHOST, a genetic system in Drosophila for studying tumor-host interactions by enabling tissue-specific manipulation of host cells and tissues.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic strategies to analyze neuron maturation in Drosophila, showing that maturation begins post-neuron birth through transcriptional changes coordinated with developmental stage.
