Insulin-like peptides play distinct roles in nutrient-dependent plasticity in Drosophila

The paper investigates how different dietary macronutrient conditions affect insulin-like peptide expression and developmental outcomes in Drosophila.

Neuropeptide F receptor acts in the Drosophila prothoracic gland to regulate growth and developmental timing

This study shows that NPFR in Drosophila prothoracic gland regulates development by modulating ecdysone production and insulin signaling, linking feeding behavior to developmental timing.

Torso-like is a component of the hemolymph and regulates the insulin signalling pathway in Drosophila

The paper identifies Torso-like as a secreted protein that regulates insulin signalling in Drosophila by modulating insulin-like peptide activity and developmental timing.
