Segmentation in tapeworms as a modified form of flatworm posterior regeneration involving Wnt and Hedgehog signalling

The paper investigates Wnt and Hedgehog signaling in tapeworm segmentation, finding that segments form through secondary AP axes linked to neuromuscular systems and regeneration mechanisms.

Molecular Underpinnings and Environmental Drivers of Spontaneous Loss of Heterozygosity in Drosophila Intestinal Stem Cells

This study identifies mitotic recombination as the primary mechanism for loss of heterozygosity in Drosophila intestinal stem cells, showing increased LOH frequency with specific bacterial infection.

Evolution and genomic signatures of spontaneous somatic mutation in Drosophila intestinal stem cells

This study analyzes spontaneous somatic mutations in Drosophila intestinal stem cells using whole-genome sequencing to understand early cancer mutation dynamics and genomic signatures.

Somatic transposition in the Drosophila intestine occurs in active chromatin and is associated with tumor suppressor gene inactivation

The paper identifies somatic transposition in Drosophila intestine, showing it occurs in active chromatin and is linked to tumor suppressor gene inactivation.
