Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies in Drosophila have uncovered diverse molecules that drive cell competition, a quality control mechanism whereby less-fit cells are eliminated through interactions with fitter neighboring cells. This has raised the fundamental question of whether cell competition converges on shared molecular pathways, despite being initiated by distinct genetic alterations. To address this, we conducted a...
