NOC1 is a Direct MYC Target, and Its Protein Interactome Dissects Its Activity in Controlling Nucleolar Function

This study identifies NOC1 as a direct MYC target and shows its role in nucleolar function through protein interactions and structural changes.

A Novel Drosophila Model to Investigate Adipose Tissue Macrophage Infiltration (ATM) and Obesity highlights the Therapeutic Potential of Attenuating Eiger/TNF Signaling to Ameliorate Insulin Resistance and ATM.

This study develops a Drosophila model to investigate adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and obesity, showing that reducing Eiger/TNF signaling improves insulin resistance and reduces immune cell infiltration.

Reduction of nucleolar NOC1 accumulates pre-rRNAs and induces Xrp1 affecting growth and resulting in cell competition in Drosophila

This study shows that reducing NOC1 in Drosophila leads to defects in ribosome biogenesis, growth, and cell competition through increased Xrp1 and eiger-JNK pathway activation.

The discovery, distribution and diversity of DNA viruses associated with Drosophila melanogaster in Europe

The paper identifies and characterizes DNA viruses in Drosophila melanogaster across Europe, revealing new viral lineages and prevalence patterns.

Glutamine Synthetase-1 induces autophagy-lysosomal degradation of huntingtin aggregates and ameliorates animal motility in a Drosophila model for Huntington’s disease

This study shows that GS1 expression in Drosophila neurons reduces huntingtin aggregates and improves motility in a Huntington’s disease model by enhancing autophagy and inhibiting TOR signaling.
