A tumor-secreted protein utilizes glucagon release to cause host wasting

Guangming Ding, Yingge Li, Cheng Chen, Kai Tan, Yifei Deng, Huiwen Pang, Zhongyuan Wang, Peixuan Dang, Xing Wu, Elisabeth Rushworth, Yufeng Yuan, Zhi‐Yong Yang, Wei Song

This study identifies a tumor-secreted protein that activates a host hormone pathway to induce systemic wasting in both flies and mammals.

Antagonistic regulation of Drosophila mitochondrial uncoupling protein UCP4b by cold and BMP signaling

Nirmalya Chatterjee, Wei Song, Phillip A. Dumesic, Bruce M. Spiegelman, Norbert Perrimon

This study identifies UCP4b as a cold-inducible gene in Drosophila that protects against cold and obesity, regulated by calcium signaling and counteracted by BMP signaling via MAD.
