Functional Data Clustering of Filopodia Dynamics

The paper clusters filopodia dynamics using functional data analysis to identify distinct temporal patterns linked to Notch signaling in fruit fly development.

SOPSim: A cell vertex-based application for simulating sensory bristle patterning with dynamic filopodia

This study introduces SOPSim, a simulation tool that models sensory bristle patterning in fruit flies by incorporating filopodia dynamics and Notch signaling.

Clustered cytoneme interactions contribute to peripheral nervous system patterning in Drosophila

The paper shows that cytoneme clustering in Drosophila PNS promotes proper patterning through enhanced dynamics and cell adhesion.

Integrative Computational and Experimental Analysis of Curly Su Mutations in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies dMPO mutations that disrupt protein stability and alter gene expression in Drosophila, linking single-point mutations to systemic biological changes.

Quantifying bristle cell organization in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper quantifies bristle cell organization in Drosophila melanogaster using spatial clustering features to distinguish between wild-type and mutant patterns.

Myosin XV is a negative regulator of signaling filopodia during long-range lateral inhibition

This study shows Myosin XV negatively regulates signaling filopodia dynamics and promotes long-range Notch signaling during Drosophila sensory bristle patterning.

Scabrous is distributed via signaling filopodia to modulate Notch response during bristle patterning in Drosophila

Long-range Notch-mediated tissue patterning requires actomyosin contractility

The paper shows that actomyosin contractility enhances Notch-mediated signaling and patterning in fly dorsal thorax development through basal protrusions.
