Spatial isotope tracing maps compartmentalized nutrient use across the adult fruit fly

Sun Jin Moon, Kerui Huang, Jenna L. E. Blum, Connie New, Yooha Park, Yuchen Chen, Hiroshi Nishida, Veronika I. Pister, Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid, Yanhui Hu, Jason M. Tennessen, Ernest Fraenkel, John M. Asara, Shawn M. Davidson, Norbert Perrimon

This study maps spatial metabolic activity in adult fruit flies using isotope tracing and mass-spectrometry imaging, revealing compartmentalized nutrient use across tissues.

The Drosophila Secretome

Yanhui Hu, Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid, Jenna Kalina, Austin Veal, Mujeeb Qadiri, Ah‐Ram Kim, Norbert Perrimon

A tiered catalogue of 5,280 Drosophila genes encoding putative secreted proteins (1,802 high-confidence) with a web portal; these genes are less conserved, more tissue-restricted and disproportionately down-regulated with age.

Maternal lipids prime quiescent neural stem cells to reactivate in response to dietary nutrients

Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid, Susan E. Doyle, Kelly E. Dunham, Michelle L. Bland, Sarah E Siegrist

The paper shows maternal lipids and dietary amino acids both regulate Drosophila neural stem cell reactivation from quiescence.

Delta-dependent Notch activation closes the early neuroblast temporal program to promote lineage progression and neurogenesis termination in Drosophila

Chhavi Sood, Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid, Kendall R. Branham, Matthew C. Pahl, Susan E. Doyle, Sarah E Siegrist

The paper identifies Delta-dependent Notch activation as a mechanism that terminates neuroblast temporal programs and promotes lineage progression in Drosophila.
