Drosophila Lung Cancer Models Identify Trametinib plus Statin as Candidate Therapeutic
We have developed a Drosophila lung cancer model by targeting Ras1G12V—alone or in combination with PTEN knockdown—to the Drosophila tracheal system. This led to overproliferation of tracheal tissue, formation of tumor-like growths, and animal lethality. Screening a library of FDA-approved drugs ide...
