Developmental transitions, such as puberty or metamorphosis, are tightly controlled by steroid hormones and can be delayed by the appearance of growth abnormalities, developmental tumors, or inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease or cystic fibrosis.1-4 Here, we used a highly inflammatory epithelial model of malignant transformation in Drosophila5,6 to unravel the role of Upd3-a cytokine with homology to interleukin-6-and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in coupling inflammation to a delay in metamorphosis. We present
