This study identifies FMR1 as a translational enhancer of oskar in Drosophila oocytes and reveals how its RNA-binding domains regulate opposing translation functions through phase separation.

The paper shows Staufen directly interacts with Tm1 to regulate oskar mRNA transport by modulating kinesin-1 activity in Drosophila oocytes.

The paper shows that HDAC1 regulates α-tubulin acetylation in response to nutritional stress, affecting microtubule dynamics and mRNP transport in Drosophila germline cells.

The paper shows that Chk2 signaling induced in the germarium causes oogenesis arrest in Drosophila when Vasa is absent, and this arrest cannot be reversed by restoring Vasa.

The paper shows that Vasa-dependent transposon control in Drosophila female germline prevents DNA damage and developmental arrest in embryos.
