Essential conserved neuronal motors kinesin-1 and kinesin-3 regulate Abeta42 toxicity in vivo

This study shows that kinesin-1 and kinesin-3 mitigate Aβ42Arc toxicity in Drosophila neurons and rescue behavioral defects.

Drosophila males require the longitudinal stretch receptors to tremulate their abdomen and produce substrate-borne signals during courtship

The paper identifies dorsal abdominal longitudinal stretch receptors and the TRPA1 channel as essential for Drosophila males to produce substrate-borne courtship signals through abdominal tremulation.
