Sensitive high-throughput assays for tumour burden reveal the response of a <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> model of colorectal cancer to standard chemotherapies
2021-04-17
Abstract excerpt
Drosophila melanogaster (Drosophila) models of cancer are emerging as powerful tools to investigate the basic mechanisms underlying tumour progression and identify novel therapeutics. Rapid and inexpensive, it is possible to carry out genetic and drug screens at a far larger scale than in vertebrate organisms. Such whole-organism-based drug screens permits assessment of drug absorption and toxicity, reducing the p...
