The paper shows that male Drosophila expressing sev>RasV12 have greater systemic damage than females due to sex-specific differences in TBPH, Caz, and Fas2 levels.

The study corrects a previous claim that sev-Gal4 expresses in specific larval neurons by showing that reporter expression occurs independently of Gal4 driver.

This study shows the hsrω gene, which produces multiple lncRNAs, is essential for Drosophila oogenesis and interacts with regulatory molecules to affect ovarian development.

The paper describes transgenic lines for over-expression, RNAi, and CRISPR-Cas9 deletion of the hsrω gene in Drosophila to study its functions and mechanisms.

This study evaluates two Ayurvedic formulations in Drosophila models of Huntington's and Alzheimer's disease, showing improved survival and reduced toxic aggregates at low concentrations.

The paper identifies conserved structural features of the hsr{omega} lncRNA gene across Drosophila species despite sequence divergence, highlighting functional importance of its organization.

The paper shows that activated Ras/JNK signaling in Drosophila imaginal discs increases Dilp8 secretion, inhibits ecdysone synthesis, and causes early pupal death.

The paper shows that over-expression of Hsp83 in the absence of hsrω lncRNAs causes synthetic lethality and phenocopies l(2)gl mutants in Drosophila.
