This study shows that reducing neuroligin 3 in Drosophila extends lifespan and alters social behavior, linking synaptic function to longevity.

This study identifies sex-specific neural circuits involving Nlg3, MB, and fruP1 neurons that regulate social spacing in Drosophila.

This study identifies circRNAs involved in ALS and related motor neuron diseases, showing their regulatory roles through miRNA sponging and interactions with RNA-binding proteins.
