This study investigates sex differences in cellular immunity in Drosophila by analyzing lymph gland structure, gene expression, and immune responses, revealing organ-intrinsic mechanisms and insulin signaling differences.

The paper identifies a TRPV4-dependent Ca2+ signaling pathway that regulates lamellipodia actin architecture and promotes cell migration through RhoA and formin-mediated actin assembly.

This study shows that Drosophila larvae use taste receptors to detect bacteria, which primes their immune system and improves survival after infection.

The paper identifies self-organized transient signaling hotspots in Drosophila hematopoiesis using Ca2+ signaling and computational analysis.

This study uses long-term live imaging in flies to reveal distinct kinetics of blood cell differentiation and shows how infection modulates these kinetics to activate hematopoiesis.

This study identifies triglyceride as a key neutral lipid regulating spermatogenesis in Drosophila by showing that loss of the triglyceride lipase brummer leads to sperm developmental defects.

The paper analyzes yolk syncytial nuclear migration during zebrafish epiboly and finds nuclei move along a dynamically changing yolk microtubule network rather than being pulled vegetally.
