The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to show that non-interacting signaling pathways prevent tumorigenesis by converging at the transcriptional level to block malignant cell behavior.

This study identifies non-occluding roles of septate junction components in regulating cell polarity and signaling pathways during epithelial development.

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly, identifying over 250 cell types and analyzing gene signatures and sexual dimorphism across tissues.

The paper constructs a single-cell RNA-seq atlas of the adult Drosophila ovary and identifies a new form of cellular plasticity in response to starvation.
