Bio-Templated Zinc Oxide Nanotherapeutics from Flemingia macrophylla kuntze Ex Merr: In Vivo Anti-Diabetic and Anti-Inflammatory Efficacy in Drosophila melanogaster

This study synthesizes zinc oxide nanoparticles using Flemingia macrophylla extract and demonstrates their anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory effects in Drosophila melanogaster.

Polyisobutylene Micro/Nanoplastics Induce Multi-System Toxicity, Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction, and Neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that polyisobutylene micro/nanoplastics cause multi-system toxicity, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster through chronic dietary exposure.

Beadex modulates hematopoiesis and innate immune defense against microbial infection in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows Beadex regulates hematopoiesis and innate immunity in Drosophila by modulating actin dynamics and immune response pathways.

Rbfox1 and mir-33 regulate pleiotropic roles of JAK/STAT signalling during adult myogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that Rbfox1 and mir-33 regulate Stat92E transcript stability and alternative splicing during Drosophila adult myogenesis, influencing JAK/STAT signaling outcomes.

The interplay between Zfh1 and Nau orchestrates the myogenic stage-dependent expression of Rbfox1 and its target Stat92E via a mir-9a-mediated negative feedback loop in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies a microRNA-mediated negative feedback loop regulating Rbfox1 and its targets during Drosophila myogenesis.

Beadex, the Drosophila LIM only protein, is required for the growth of the larval neuromuscular junction and sensorimotor activities

This study shows that Beadex is required for neuromuscular junction growth and sensorimotor activities in Drosophila, with genetic interactions indicating its role downstream of Highwire.

Spatial and temporal requirement of Mlp60A isoforms during muscle development and function in Drosophila melanogaster

This study investigates the spatio-temporal expression and functional roles of two Mlp60A isoforms in Drosophila muscle development and function, showing their specialized roles in embryonic development and adult flight.

Rbfox1 is required for myofibril development and maintaining fiber-type specific isoform expression in Drosophila muscles

This study shows Rbfox1 is essential for muscle fiber development and isoform expression in Drosophila, affecting both transcript levels and splicing through multiple regulatory mechanisms.
