This study investigates the functional relationship between Echinoid and Sidekick, two IgCAM proteins, showing they modulate Adherens Junction dynamics and tissue remodelling through bidirectional interactions and shared intracellular adaptors.

This study investigates the distinct cellular and molecular mechanisms of two chitin synthases in D. melanogaster, showing they use different strategies to deposit chitin with specific functions.

The paper shows that Wengen, a TNFR, regulates the FGFR pathway by an unconventional mechanism involving intracellular trafficking and interaction with Breathless.

The paper investigates the roles of Expansion/Rebuf and Krotzkopf Verkehrt in chitin deposition in Drosophila, showing their distinct functions in polymerization and translocation.

This study shows that Crumbs (Crb) accumulates anisotropically at cell junctions during Drosophila tracheal tube elongation, and Src42A promotes this accumulation, orienting longitudinal growth.
