Counterintuitively, increased tumour predisposition is associated with ribosomal protein (RP) loss. Here, we provide the first evidence that RP depletion can directly drive tissue overgrowth. Haematopoietic compartment-specific knockdown (KD) of RpS19a in the Drosophila lymph gland not only results ...
