This study identifies miR-184 as a regulator of developmental timing in Drosophila by modulating Dilp8 expression, both under normal conditions and in response to tissue damage.

This study shows Edem1 in Drosophila fat body regulates insulin signaling and metabolic homeostasis by modulating Eiger activity and gene expression during feeding and deprivation.

The paper shows that insulin signaling maintains feeding responses during early starvation through feedback loops involving the fatbody and sNPF neurons in Drosophila.
