This study shows that Dpp and immune response factors mediate paracrine induction of senescent cells in Drosophila, increasing the proportion of senescent cells from 10% to 24%.

This study investigates the role of Spalt proteins in Drosophila cells, showing their involvement in heterochromatin organization and genomic DNA integrity through chromatin accessibility changes, DNA damage, and transposable element misexpression.

The paper investigates size compensation in Drosophila wing imaginal discs after ionizing radiation, finding that it occurs without increased proliferation or reliance on JNK, JAK/STAT, or Wg pathways.

This study shows that Drosophila p53 pro-apoptotic activity is regulated by Cdk1, linking cell cycle status to DNA damage response.
