The paper shows that the human MLL-AF4 fusion protein induces autophagy and cell death in Drosophila fat body cells, contrasting its effect in the hematopoietic system.

The paper shows SQSTM1/p62 accumulates in BHD kidney tumors due to FLCN loss, but is not required for tumor growth.

This study shows that V-ATPase inhibition reduces tumor growth and restores autophagy in a Drosophila glioma model and human glioblastoma neurospheres.
