This study shows that glial ceramide production and transfer are essential for lipid droplet homeostasis and motor function in Drosophila, with implications for motor neuron diseases.

This study shows that complement signaling via C3r is critical for perinatal neuronal elimination but not synaptic pruning in the developing brain.

This study uses pharmacogenetic inhibition to show that the cerebral cortex acutely suppresses innate defensive behaviors in response to threatening stimuli.

This study investigates the role of Dmon1 and Rab7 in regulating GluRIIA levels at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, showing their interaction in the endo-lysosomal pathway.

The paper identifies SOD1, TOR signaling, and ROS as modifiers of VAP(P58S) aggregation in a Drosophila ALS model, showing proteasomal clearance via ROS-induced degradation.
