This study shows that the Drosophila RYR gene is essential for muscle development and function and demonstrates its utility in assessing human RYR1 mutations.

This study identifies miR-1 and its target Multiplexin as key regulators in DM1-associated dilated cardiomyopathy using Drosophila models.

The paper shows that Drosophila adult muscle precursor cells guide motor axon pathfinding and proper muscle innervation through dynamic interactions with motor neurons.

The paper identifies straightjacket/α2δ3 deregulation as a contributor to cardiac conduction defects in DM1 by showing its overexpression in fly models and human patients.
