This study shows that altering the MYC/MAX ratio in Drosophila eye progenitors changes cell fate by rewiring HOX gene expression and reprogramming progenitor identity.

This study shows that Drosophila wing discs continue growing during the larva-to-pupa transition and undergo growth arrest later in the pupal period, involving a switch that uncouples proliferation from tissue growth.

This study investigates the distinct cellular and molecular mechanisms of two chitin synthases in D. melanogaster, showing they use different strategies to deposit chitin with specific functions.

The paper investigates the roles of Expansion/Rebuf and Krotzkopf Verkehrt in chitin deposition in Drosophila, showing their distinct functions in polymerization and translocation.
