The paper shows Dpr4/DIP-{Theta} transneuronal interactions control branch-specific axon pruning in Drosophila mushroom body neurons, with N-Cadherin mediating this process.

The paper shows that DIPs and Dprs interact in cis within the same cells, regulating trans interactions and influencing neural development in Drosophila.

This study shows that Piezo2 in sensory neurons regulates brown and beige fat metabolism, preventing systemic hypermetabolism and improving insulin sensitivity.

This study shows that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is essential for proprioception by coordinating the development of muscle spindle components through both cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms.

This study characterizes the molecular composition of the muscle spindle using transcriptomic and proteomic data, identifies differentiation stages, and validates markers through immunostaining.
