This paper develops an optimized optogenetic system using Acr proteins to regulate endogenous gene expression in Drosophila with improved light sensitivity.

The paper shows that matrix-mediated adhesion and a tensor structure are crucial for shaping the Drosophila haltere into a globular form during metamorphosis.

The paper investigates Drosophila p24 proteins and finds that their interaction with Tango1 is essential for maintaining ER-Golgi interface stability and efficient transport.

This study identifies FGF signaling as essential for adult adipogenesis in Drosophila, showing it drives precursor migration and differentiation during metamorphosis.

The paper measures stop codon readthrough in Drosophila across development and tissues, finding it varies with age and tissue type, being highest in neurons.

This paper investigates the role of Nidogen/entactin in basement membrane assembly and morphogenesis in Drosophila, showing tissue-specific requirements and functional domains of Ndg.
