QINT, a novel simplified QF/QUAS expression system with integrated temporal expression control

The paper introduces QINT, a temperature-controlled gene expression system that enables temporal regulation of gene expression in Drosophila and other organisms.

The Drosophila IR20a Integrates L-arginine and Salt Signals via Distinct Subunit Assemblies

This study identifies IR20a as a multimodal receptor in Drosophila that detects arginine and low NaCl salt through distinct subunit assemblies, enhancing feeding behavior.

Glucose-6-phosphatase is required for organelle reorganization, energy metabolism and motility of Drosophila sperm

This study identifies a critical role for glucose-6-phosphatase in Drosophila male fertility, showing it is required for sperm motility, energy metabolism, and organelle organization.

Drosophila Neuronal Glucose 6 Phosphatase is a Modulator of Neuropeptide Release that Regulates Muscle Glycogen Stores via FMRFamide Signaling

This study identifies G6P's role in Drosophila peptidergic neurons, showing it modulates neuropeptide release and glycogen storage via FMRFamide signaling in starved flies.

Opposing chemosensory functions of closely related gustatory receptors

The paper identifies opposing chemosensory functions of closely related Gr28 gustatory receptors in Drosophila larvae, showing they mediate attraction and avoidance behaviors to chemically related compounds.
