Cardiaca adipokinetic hormone and hedgehog signaling combine to generate intracellular waves of Ca++ in starved Drosophila melanogaster fat body

This study shows that AKH and Hedgehog signaling in Drosophila fat body generate intracellular Ca++ waves during fasting, integrating signals from the brain and midgut.

Multifaceted modes of γ-tubulin complex recruitment and microtubule nucleation at mitotic centrosomes

The paper investigates γ-tubulin complex recruitment mechanisms at mitotic centrosomes in Drosophila, showing that Spd-2 and Cnn use different pathways to nucleate microtubules, with implications for centrosome robustness and microtubule dynamics.
