Grant Activity:
Identification of novel mediators of cachexia in Drosophila
Purpose:
Cachexia is a metabolic disorder that affects some 9 million people worldwide, and involves extreme weight- and muscle-loss. It is a disease driven by metabolic imbalance between tumours, muscle and fat. Here we use fruit flies to find out how specific mutations can drive cachexia, what factors are mediating the communication between tumour and other tissues, and watch cachexia occur in real time. For the first time, we can study how tumours and organs communicate.
