This study identifies insulin and TGF-β signaling convergence in Drosophila adipose tissue that drives ECM accumulation and muscle wasting in a tumor model.

This study identifies Pvf2 as a key regulator of macrophage self-renewal in Drosophila by showing its transient expression in blood cells and its role in driving population expansion.

This study shows that insulin-like signaling coordinates Drosophila larval hemocyte number with body size, with reduced growth rate and impaired signaling leading to fewer hemocytes.
