DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ulrich Theopold (Department of Molecular Biosciences
 \, SU)\n\nFrom its early appearance as an experimental model the fruitfly 
 Drosophila melanogaster has been used to study the progression of cancer. 
 Already some of the first fly mutants isolated from nature showed aberrant
  cell growth and in recent decades tumors were induced using molecular gen
 etics. This has led to the identification of signaling pathways that are a
 ctivated in the presence of tumors. We and others found that stress and in
 nate immunity signaling is induced in tumorous fly larvae. Some of these r
 eactions lead to apoptosis of tumor cells while we find they can also cont
 ribute to limiting the damage that is associated with tumor growth. These 
 findings increase our understanding of tumor progression and may help to f
 ine-tune tumor therapy.\n\nhttps://indico.fysik.su.se/event/7340/
