This study identifies CSN7 as essential for Drosophila neuroblast growth and proliferation by regulating the Akt/mTor pathway through Cul1.

This study identifies Insep and IER3IP1 as essential for cytokinesis, showing their conserved role in Rab11 vesicle dynamics across Drosophila and human cells.

This study identifies DYRK1A's role in promoting mTORC1 activity by inhibiting TSC complex activity through phosphorylation of TSC2, and shows conservation in Drosophila.

The paper identifies Bendless as a regulator of PINK1-Park activity that controls Mitofusin degradation under mitochondrial stress, with implications for neuroprotection.

The paper shows that DIP-α and Dpr10 IgSF proteins mediate stereotyped terminal axon branching of leg motor neurons in Drosophila through interactions between axon filopodia and muscles.
