This study shows Drgx is essential for T4/T5 neuron identity, survival, and circuit formation in Drosophila by regulating apoptosis and projection development.

This study identifies FoxP circuits in Drosophila involved in locomotion and object fixation, showing developmental expression is required for these behaviors.

This study shows that Hedgehog signaling in Drosophila glial cells protects proteostasis and extends lifespan, with potential therapeutic implications for degenerative diseases.

This study identifies Fuss as essential for bitter gustatory neuron differentiation in Drosophila, acting within an Rpd3-dependent chromatin modifying complex.
