This paper identifies Weckle as a molecular switch that redirects Toll signalling from innate immunity to growth by interacting with Yki, revealing a mechanism for brain plasticity and potential implications for regeneration and cancer.

This study identifies DNT-2 and Toll-2 as regulators of cell survival and connectivity in Drosophila visual system development through trophic signaling.

This study shows that DNT-2 and its receptors Toll-6 and Kek-6 regulate structural plasticity in dopaminergic circuits in Drosophila, affecting behavior and connectivity.

This study identifies Drospondin, a Drosophila homolog of mammalian Reelin, showing it is essential for nervous system development and function.

This study shows that Lipophorin receptors in Drosophila are involved in mushroom body development and affect learning, memory, and sleep.
