Presynaptic PMCA interacts with Dlg, regulating in vivo synaptic calcium in Drosophila larval NMJ

This study shows that PMCA interacts with Dlg to regulate presynaptic calcium levels in Drosophila NMJ, affecting neurotransmitter release and Ca2+ homeostasis.

Monoamine-induced diacylglycerol signaling rapidly accumulates Unc13 in nanoclusters for fast presynaptic potentiation

This study shows that octopamine rapidly potentiates presynaptic neurotransmitter release in Drosophila by clustering Unc13 via diacylglycerol signaling, affecting synaptic function and behavior.

A quick and versatile protocol for the 3D visualization of transgene expression across the whole body of larval Drosophila

This paper describes a protocol for whole-body multifluorescence imaging of larval Drosophila using optimized clearing and imaging techniques.
