This study shows that ATGL-mediated lipid droplet lipolysis is essential for collective migration in Drosophila border cells by regulating energy production and mitochondrial function.

This study shows that prostaglandin signaling regulates nucleoskeletal remodeling during Drosophila border cell migration, which facilitates collective migration.

The paper identifies Jabba as a downstream effector of prostaglandin signaling that promotes actin remodeling during Drosophila oogenesis, revealing two distinct PG-dependent pathways for actin remodeling.

This study shows that PLIN2 regulates lipophagy in beta cells to prevent fatty acid accumulation in mitochondria, which impairs insulin secretion and mitochondrial function.

This study investigates the role of nuclear actin in Drosophila female germline stem cell maintenance, finding that polymeric nuclear actin is essential for stemness and tissue homeostasis.

This study identifies Importin-9's role in Drosophila germ cell nuclear processes, showing its necessity for chromosome segregation, histone-to-protamine transition, and proteasome function during gametogenesis.
