Several of these functions are relevant to tumour suppression, and ESCRT components have indeed been identified as tumor suppressors in mice and fruit flies.
Rusten and Stenmark have co-authored the review with Thomas Vaccari from the FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan, an expert on tumourigensis and developmental processes in fruit flies.
