This study identifies integrin signaling as a mechanism that restricts ligament cell elongation during embryonic development, enabling cap cell elongation in the ChO.

The paper identifies HIF-1 as a regulator of Sarm1-mediated neurodegeneration, showing that stabilized HIF-1 prevents NAD+ loss and protects neurons.

This paper develops a genetic screening platform in Drosophila to identify regulators of axon degeneration by depleting dNmnat, revealing new factors that influence neuronal survival and NAD+ homeostasis.

The paper identifies dWnk as an ionic/osmotic sensor that promotes neurodegeneration alongside dSarm in Drosophila, converging on Axundead for axon death.

This study identifies a gene regulatory network involving Prospero, D-Pax2, and Delilah that controls proprioceptor development in Drosophila by regulating the expression of Delilah through a specific enhancer.
