Tag-stabilized fluorescent protein binders for endogenous cell type-specific protein labelling

This paper develops fluorescent protein binders for cell type-specific visualization of endogenous proteins, showing improved signal-to-noise ratio and application in multiple organisms.

Olfactory Loss Enhances Visual Learning in Drosophila through Structural and Functional Reorganisation

This study shows that losing olfaction in Drosophila enhances visual learning through structural and functional changes in neural circuits.

Mitochondrial origins of the pressure to sleep

This study identifies mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis as key factors in sleep regulation by analyzing single-cell transcriptomes in sleep-deprived flies.

Intestinal control of feeding initiation in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that in Drosophila, feeding initiation depends on partial meconium excretion, revealing a gut-to-brain signaling circuit linking intestinal clearance and feeding behavior.

Sleep pressure accumulates in a voltage-gated lipid peroxidation memory

The paper shows that sleep pressure in Drosophila is regulated by a voltage-gated lipid peroxidation memory involving KV channel beta-subunits and NADPH cofactors.
