This study shows that adipocyte metabolic changes due to an obesogenic diet affect glial phagocytic function in Drosophila brains by altering lipid signaling and receptor expression.

This study shows that an obesogenic diet causes glial insulin resistance in Drosophila, which impairs neuronal debris clearance.

This study identifies Pect as a critical regulator of hunger-driven feeding in Drosophila under high sugar diet, linking phospholipid metabolism to obesity-related feeding behavior.

This study identifies Pappaa as a regulator of mitochondrial function and hair cell survival in zebrafish by modulating IGF1 bioavailability and mitochondrial stress responses.
