The paper shows that 20E signaling modulates gene expression during Drosophila dorsal closure through a novel mechanism involving EcR and Jun interaction, distinct from canonical EcR-EcRE binding.

This study investigates the role of Hipk in Drosophila nervous system and muscle function, showing its critical impact on neuronal and glial cell function, neuromuscular junction structure, and motor neuron health.

This study shows that Draper organizes the spectrin cytoskeleton into corrals that contain synaptic proteins and promotes synaptic renewal by trapping nascent boutons.
