Embryonic integrin signaling establishes a program of differential cell elongation in a growing proprioceptive organ

This study identifies integrin signaling as a mechanism that restricts ligament cell elongation during embryonic development, enabling cap cell elongation in the ChO.

A mechanical time window for correct proprioceptor development

The paper identifies a critical mechanical time window during late embryogenesis for proper proprioceptor development in flies.

delilah, prospero and D-Pax2 constitute a gene regulatory network essential for the development of functional proprioceptors

This study identifies a gene regulatory network involving Prospero, D-Pax2, and Delilah that controls proprioceptor development in Drosophila by regulating the expression of Delilah through a specific enhancer.

Revisiting the role of beta-tubulin in Drosophila development: beta-tubulin60D is not an essential gene, and its novel Pin1 allele has a tissue-specific dominant-negative impact

The paper revisits the role of beta-tubulin60D in Drosophila development, showing it is not essential and identifying a dominant-negative mutation with tissue-specific effects on bristle morphogenesis.
