Flow zoometry of Drosophila

This paper introduces flow zoometry, a high-throughput screening method for Drosophila, enabling rapid, automated, and high-resolution analysis of whole animals.

Small molecule modulation of a redox-sensitive stress granule protein dissolves stress granules with beneficial outcomes for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis models

The paper identifies lipoamide as a small molecule that dissolves stress granules and improves outcomes in ALS models by modulating redox-sensitive proteins.

Inhibition of a negative feedback for persistent epithelial cell-cell junction contraction by p21-activated kinase 3

The paper shows that Pak3 inhibits contractility-induced disruption of cell-cell junction contraction by maintaining E-cadherin levels and myosin II association.
