The epithelial tissues that line the surfaces of organs throughout the body intrinsically have hot spots for cancerous tumors, revealed a Florida State University research team, in coordination with a team from Japan. They discovered this by examining a common household pest - the fruit fly.
"Flies and humans have a lot in common in terms of genes and pathways for developing cancer," said Wu-Min Deng, professor of biological science at Florida State and the senior author on the paper.
