Cell division is critical for development, organ growth, and tissue repair. The later stages of cell include the formation microtubule (MT)-rich central spindle in anaphase, which required to properly define equator, guide assembly acto-myosin contractile ring ultimately ensure complete separation isolation two daughter cells via abscission. Much known about molecular machinery that forms spindle, including proteins needed generate antiparallel overlapping interzonal MTs. One protein has...

During tumor growth - when nutrient and anabolic demands are high – autophagy supports metabolism through lysosomal organelle turnover recycling 1 . Ras-driven tumors additionally invoke non-autonomous in the microenvironment to support growth, part transfer of amino acids 2–4 Here we uncover a third critical role mediating systemic organ wasting mobilization for using well-characterized malignant model Drosophila melanogaster Micro-computed X-ray tomography metabolic profiling reveal that...
