Human EWS-FLI protein recapitulates in Drosophila the neomorphic functions that induce Ewing sarcoma tumorigenesis

Caption

The lack of green signal in the Drosophila larva outlined in yellow indicates that it carries a mutation in a gene that is essential for EWS-FLI to trigger one of the oncogenic pathways that are essential for Ewing sarcoma growth.
