Our latest research is now on bioRxiv:
Inhibition of autophagy as a novel therapy for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors https://t.co/TVcbWMsMVI
@LSI_Exeter @UniofExeter

[Housden lab @LabHousden]

We generated a Drosophila cell model of Neurofibromatosis type 1 and used this to search for potential drugs to treat tumors. We show that chloroquine treatment has a clear selective effect on tumor cells across multiple cell culture and in vivo model systems.
