The paper introduces RIDE-OPM, a simplified OPM design that improves imaging stability and flexibility for long-term biological imaging.

This study identifies E93 as a retained developmental transcription factor that maintains neuronal identity and function in adult Drosophila circuits.

This study shows that cell cycle progression and cytokinesis are required for the early-to-late gene expression transition in Drosophila NSCs, alongside hormonal cues.

This study identifies stem cell-specific ecdysone signaling as critical for generating sleep-promoting neurons in Drosophila and shows its impact on adult sleep behavior.

This study shows that the RNA-binding protein Imp, expressed in Type II neural stem cells, regulates olfactory navigation circuitry and behavior in Drosophila by specifying multiple circuit components and affecting neuronal morphology and function.

This study shows that Imp promotes exit from quiescence in Drosophila type II neuroblasts, independent of Syncrip, and relates to its role in promoting proliferation.

The paper identifies a neural pathway in Drosophila that integrates odor and wind direction cues for upwind navigation.

This study identifies pdm3 as a gene critical for sleep maturation in Drosophila by coordinating dopaminergic neurite ingrowth and regulating synaptogenesis.

The paper shows that ecdysone hormone induces temporal gene expression in Drosophila larval neuroblasts, driving neuronal and glial diversity through a transition from Chinmo/Imp to Syncrip/Broad/E93.
