Cancer as a systemic disease : investigating tumour-host interaction in Drosophila

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A complex and bi-directional interaction exists between a tumour and its host. By treating cancer as a systemic disease, and leveraging the genetic tractability of Drosophila melanogaster, work throughout this thesis explores the nature of the tumour-host interaction. By combining Drosophila models of high sugar diet (HSD)-induced obesity and Ras/Src-driven tumourigenesis, I have established a model of ‘cachexia-l...
