This study shows that Orion's presentation via glycosaminoglycans regulates distinct glial responses during Drosophila neuronal pruning.

This study shows that vnd is more critical than Appl for MB axon outgrowth, with vnd acting non-autonomously.

This study identifies Orion as a bridging molecule that connects phosphatidylserine and Draper in Drosophila phagocytosis of degenerating neurons, revealing a conserved mechanism.

This study identifies Orion, a chemokine-like ligand, as essential for glial cell transformation into phagocytes during neuronal remodeling and debris clearance.

The paper shows HTT represses ABL activity, which is necessary for axonal growth in Drosophila mushroom bodies.

The paper identifies a new gene, orion, which is secreted by neurons and recruits astrocytes for axon pruning and debris removal during neuronal remodeling in Drosophila.
