This study shows that rapamycin affects germline stem cell quiescence differently across genetic backgrounds in Drosophila, with mitophagy playing a key role in quiescence persistence.

This study shows that DNT-2 and its receptors Toll-6 and Kek-6 regulate structural plasticity in dopaminergic circuits in Drosophila, affecting behavior and connectivity.

This study identifies CG31030 as a specific regulator of neuronal V-ATPase in Drosophila, essential for synaptic vesicle acidification and neurotransmitter release.

This study identifies a neuron-glia communication pathway involving Ia-2 and Dilp-6 that drives glial cell regeneration and neurogenesis in Drosophila.
