FETCH enables precise fluorescent labeling of membrane proteins in Drosophila with spatiotemporal control through covalent bond formation.

This paper introduces three HCR variants that improve sensitivity for detecting low-abundance mRNA targets in challenging tissue environments.

The paper describes an automated system for producing secreted proteins in transfected mammalian cells, enabling high-throughput, flexible, and cost-effective protein production for research.

The paper introduces a multiplex method to screen CSP extracellular interactions using nanoparticles and fluorescent beads, showing improved sensitivity and dynamic range over ELISA-based assays.

The paper identifies heterogeneous clock and dopaminergic cell types in Drosophila using single-cell sequencing and shows connectivity molecules best characterize these neuron groups.

The paper investigates how varying affinities of CAM interactions affect synaptic targeting and neuronal survival in Drosophila, finding different affinity requirements for these processes.

This paper identifies Sticks and Stones (Sns) as a conserved ligand for the Drosophila Lar RPTP, showing its role in neural circuit wiring through cis and trans interactions in multiple developmental contexts.

The paper identifies dpr and DIP genes expressed in fru P1 neurons and shows their role in Drosophila reproductive behavior through genetic and single-cell RNA-seq analyses.

The paper shows that Dpr11 and DIP-γ interactions mediate selection and survival of Drosophila yDm8 amacrine neurons by specifying presynaptic partner recognition and neurotrophic signaling.
