Mechanistic characterization of a Drosophila model of paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Paraneoplastic syndromes occur in cancer patients and originate from dysfunction of organs at a distance from the tumor or its metastasis. A wide range of organs can be affected in paraneoplastic syndromes; however, the pathological mechanisms by which tumors influence host organs are poorly understood.
