The paper identifies molecular mechanisms in Drosophila larval neurons that detect changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, using genetic and behavioral analyses.

This study identifies the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying Drosophila larval rolling escape behavior, revealing circumferential muscle contractions and premotor circuitry involved in generating rolling motion.

The paper shows that the NO-cGMP pathway, regulated by the transcription factor Cut, influences the morphology of proprioceptors in Drosophila.

This study shows that regulated alternative splicing of Dscam2 ensures proper synaptic partner selection in the larval somatosensory system by preventing inappropriate connections.

This study identifies integrin overexpression as protective against paclitaxel-induced sensory neuron degeneration in Drosophila and mouse models of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

This paper describes a scarless genome editing method for Drosophila using site-specific integrases and homing nucleases, enabling efficient modification near landing sites.

This study identifies delta 2 tubulin as a key player in bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy by showing its role in axonopathy and mitochondrial motility disruption.

This study uses high-speed volumetric microscopy to analyze proprioceptor activity in crawling Drosophila larvae, revealing dynamic encoding of body position during movement.
