The paper examines ER exit sites in Drosophila, finding pre-cis-Golgi regions and pearled tubes but no megacarriers for ER-Golgi transport.

This study shows that JAK/STAT signaling, activated by tumor-derived Upd cytokines, delays Drosophila metamorphosis by coopting its developmental role in the prothoracic gland.

This study demonstrates that plunge freezing can vitrify large biological specimens like mouse cardiomyocytes and Drosophila tissues, enabling efficient cryo-FIB/ET analysis of their molecular architecture.
