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 shows that frataxin deficiency disrupts ER-mitochondria communication, impairing calcium homeostasis in FRDA models, and that restoring mitochondrial calcium uptake can alleviate some defects.

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.
