Abhijit Biswas, Gunjan Singh, Devanjan Sinha and colleagues discover that non-canonically regulated heterochronic expression of Hsp70 drives clonal expansion and invasion in Drosophila epithelial tumours.

In @eLife VOR: We show the importance of SOD1 and redox-coupling of the two stem cell populations in Drosophila testicular stem cell niche maintenance. Great work by @Oliviamajhi who also pioneered establishment of Drosophila model in our lab https://t.co/uOUJntnfhl

[Devanjan Sinha @devsinha84]

Excited to share the work by @Priyadarshika_P published in Cell Death and Disease, showing how MCJ regulates the plasticity of electron flow across ETC complexes that reprograms carbon utilization and enhances proliferative capacity of tumour cells.

Thrilled to share that our article got featured as cover art in Journal of Cell Science. Using *Drosophila* tumor models, we uncover how heterochronic Hsp70 expression promotes aggressive epithelial tumor growth through stress-associated signaling pathways.

Our cover image shows a Drosophila wing epithelial tumour where the excessive proliferation has led to a densely folded tissue architecture. See article by Biswas et al.
