The paper investigates how ZPD proteins in Drosophila regulate nanopore formation in cuticular structures through mechanical forces.

The paper reveals how the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is repurposed via autophagy to form nanopores in Drosophila olfactory organs, controlled by the Gox protein.

The paper identifies Osiris genes as key regulators of cuticle nanostructures in Drosophila, showing their expression in cuticle-secreting cells and their role in shaping specific nano-patterns.

This study shows that EGFR signaling maintains epithelial integrity by preventing tissue disintegration during morphogenetic processes in Drosophila embryos.

The paper identifies an insect-specific endosomal protein involved in forming nanopores in the cuticle, essential for odor detection.

This study identifies Trynity as a conserved aECM protein essential for epidermal barrier function and tracheal tube maturation in Drosophila by modulating apical extracellular matrix nano-patterning.
