The paper quantitatively evaluates nine green and eight red fluorophores in Drosophila embryos to identify optimal choices based on bleaching, folding, and imaging conditions.

This study examines the spatiotemporal dynamics of bcd mRNA translation in Drosophila oocytes and embryos, revealing that translation is restricted to the anterior pole and regulated by P bodies.

This study investigates Bicoid gradient formation in Drosophila embryos, revealing spatially varying dynamic modes that explain the gradient's exponential shape.

The paper shows that degenerating larval epidermal cells generate pull forces that drive thorax closure in Drosophila by contracting and shrinking, facilitating HE migration and zipping.
