Loss of Rer1 causes proteotoxic stress that drives cell competition and inhibits Myc-driven overgrowth

Pranab Kumar Paul, Rishana Farin S., Wim G. Annaert, Varun Chaudhary

This study shows that loss of Rer1 causes proteotoxic stress, leading to cell competition and inhibition of Myc-driven overgrowth in Drosophila.
