The paper identifies a neural circuit and molecular mechanism in Drosophila larvae that links internal osmotic state to behavioral adaptation through GPCR signaling.

This study identifies the expression pattern of the GPI-anchored LU superfamily gene bero in Drosophila larvae, showing it is expressed in peptidergic neurons and non-neuronal tissues.

This study shows that Kuzbanian is essential for forming a single-cell-thick adult fat body in Drosophila and is involved in starvation resistance.

This study identifies Belly roll as a regulator of Drosophila escape behaviors by modulating neuronal activity in ABLK neurons.

The paper shows that nutrient availability affects dendrite complexity in Drosophila neurons via inter-organ signaling pathways.
