Glycogen homeostasis and mtDNA expression require motorneuron to muscle TGFβ/Activin Signaling in Drosophila

Heidi S. Bretscher, Michael B. O’Connor

This study shows that Actβ signaling from motor neurons to muscle regulates glycogen levels and mtDNA expression in Drosophila by controlling nuclear-encoded factors required for mtDNA replication, transcription, and translation.

Knockdown of Atg1 or Atg18 in adult adipocytes impairs lipophagy and reduces lifespan of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster)

Mariah Bierlein, Joseph Charles, Trevor Polisuk-Balfour…·Changqi C. Zhu

This study shows that knocking down Atg1 or Atg18 in adult fly adipocytes impairs lipophagy and reduces lifespan, but not in muscle or glia.
