The paper shows that Psi in Drosophila cortex glia represses EGFR signaling to prevent NSC overproliferation, highlighting intrinsic and extrinsic control mechanisms in stem cell fate.

This study identifies AGO1 as a tumour suppressor in Drosophila that represses Myc transcription, inhibiting cell and tissue growth through direct transcriptional repression.

The paper identifies Psi as a repressor of developmental pathways that promotes Drosophila wing growth by both activating Myc and repressing growth inhibitors.
