The neurotrophin DNT-2 regulates cell survival and connectivity via the Toll-2 receptor during visual system development of Drosophila

Naser Alshamsi, Francisca Rojo-Cortés, Bangfu Zhu…·Alicia Hidalgo

This study identifies DNT-2 and Toll-2 as regulators of cell survival and connectivity in Drosophila visual system development through trophic signaling.

Kek-6: A Truncated Trk-Like Receptor For Drosophila Neurotrophin 2 Regulates Structural Synaptic Plasticity

Suzana Ulian-Benitez, Simon Bishop, István Földi…·Alicia Hidalgo

This study identifies Kek-6, a truncated Trk-like receptor in Drosophila, as a functional receptor for DNT2 that regulates synaptic structural plasticity through CaMKII and VAP33A, suggesting evolutionary conservation of this mechanism.
