This study uses a Drosophila model to identify PRKX as a potential therapeutic target in bladder cancer by combining genotype-informed screening with human cell line validation.

This study shows that targeting the AMPK-MAPK axis in cancer-associated fibroblasts suppresses PDAC growth in fly and mouse models by restoring AMPK activity and inhibiting fibroblast activation.

This paper introduces flow zoometry, a high-throughput screening method for Drosophila, enabling rapid, automated, and high-resolution analysis of whole animals.
