This study investigates the age- and sex-specific role of dArhgef10 in locomotor behavior in Drosophila, finding it critical in neuronal function, particularly in aged females.

This paper identifies an ovarian signaling axis in Drosophila that modulates yeast appetite by linking oogenesis progression to nutrient selection through Dilp8.

The paper identifies a neuropeptidergic signaling pathway involving Mip and SPR that triggers and modulates a complex pupariation behavior in Drosophila.

The paper shows Dilp8 promotes developmental stability in Drosophila by inducing oscillatory activity in PIL/GCL neurons through Lgr3 signaling and Cyclin A.

This study shows Aubergine regulates ISC proliferation and tumourigenesis in Drosophila intestine through protein synthesis, independent of its piRNA function.

The paper identifies marmite (mmt) as a conserved neuropeptide family mediating protein appetite and nutritional homeostasis across species.

The paper identifies a somatosensory network in Drosophila larvae that uses neuropeptide action to gate specific escape behaviors based on sensory input type.

The paper assesses the intersectional genetics landscape in human cells using RE usage data to identify minimal RE combinations for cell-type specificity.

The paper shows that Lgr3 is required for Dilp8 signaling in Drosophila to coordinate growth with developmental timing by transmitting peripheral tissue stress signals to neuroendocrine centers.
