In animals, tumour development triggers systemic effects, impacting the physiology of distant organs. In Drosophila larvae, wing disc neoplastic tumours result in developmental delay and organ wasting reminiscent of cachexia. This paraneoplastic syndrome affects many organs, but its effects on the intestine, a key organ in the regulation of nutrient and energy homeostasis, remain understudied. We describe here that neoplastic tumours also affect the development of the larval midgut, leading to altered cell type numbers, with a depletion of the stem-cell-like Adult Midgut Precursors (AMPs), and a disorganisation of the niche cells which enter precocious differentiation. Importantly, these intestinal cell type alterations are initiated before the onset of reduced food intake, and of muscle and adipose tissue atrophies, and thus represent a new paraneoplastic phenotype. Screening for mediators, we show that tumour derived Ilp8 and Upd3 control AMPs number and niche specification respectively.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
