This study uses GFP-tagged Drosophila TGF-β receptor isoforms to analyze their expression and function in CNS development, revealing distinct roles of BaboA in postembryonic neurogenesis and CNS remodeling.

This study shows that different isoforms of the Babo receptor regulate proliferation and conversion of neural stem cells in Drosophila larval brain development, with BaboA playing a major role.

The paper identifies Myoglianin as a muscle-derived factor in Drosophila that regulates wing size through dSmad2 signaling.

This study shows Drosophila Activin signaling promotes muscle growth by enhancing InR/dTORC1 pathway and MHC levels, with distinct effects on muscle geometry depending on signal balance.

This study identifies Activinβ as a positive regulator of muscle mass in Drosophila, showing it is delivered by motoneurons and affects tissue scaling during development.
