This study identifies Traffic jam as a master regulator of the somatic piRNA pathway in Drosophila ovaries, showing its role in controlling piRNA factors and the flamenco cluster.

The paper identifies Dystrophin-Dystroglycan as essential for cytokinesis efficiency in Drosophila epithelia by regulating ring contraction and preventing membrane regression.

The paper investigates how WRC recruitment at tricellular junctions via Sidekick and Lar drives protrusive activity, enabling cell intercalation and tissue elongation in Drosophila.

The paper shows that gap junctions and amino acid import in somatic cells support germ cell growth in Drosophila by enabling metabolic transfer and regulating translation.

The paper investigates how the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex and basement membrane fibrils coordinate F-actin polarization and tissue elongation in Drosophila ovarian follicles.

The paper shows that JAK-STAT signaling gradient controls Drosophila follicle elongation through apical contractility, not basal polarization or rotation.
