A Blueprint for Cancer-Related Inflammation and Host Innate Immunity

Both in situ and allograft models of cancer in juvenile and adult <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> fruit flies offer a powerful means for unravelling cancer gene networks and cancer–host interactions. They can also be used as tools for cost-effective drug discovery and repurposing. Moreove...
