This study shows that EDTP loss of function in Drosophila reduces reproduction and lifespan, with effects restricted to developmental and adult stages.

This study expresses a pathogenic HD construct in Drosophila muscle and finds distinct aggregate distributions and phenotypes depending on expression timing and level.

This study shows that overexpressing hsp70 in Drosophila melanogaster does not extend longevity or stress resistance, except for a reduction in male lifespan with ubiquitous expression.

This study constructs and characterizes Tet-off GAL80 transgenes to enable temporal control of GAL4 activity in adult Drosophila, showing age and sex-dependent effects on repression.
