The paper shows that de novo lipogenesis regulates lysosomal enzyme export from the ER by promoting Arf1 myristoylation and retrograde vesicle trafficking.

This paper develops PD-iPCR to detect low-abundance secreted proteins in Drosophila by using nanobodies and tagged proteins, enabling sensitive quantification of hormones like ImpL2.

The paper identifies Zrf1 as an epigenetic factor regulating intestinal stem cell proliferation and genome stability in Drosophila midgut regeneration.

CESA identifies potential phospho-specific antibodies from mammalian collections that could be useful for detecting phosphorylated proteins in Drosophila and other species.

This study introduces a phage-displayed synthetic library for nanobody discovery and validates it by screening against Drosophila secreted proteins, demonstrating its utility for immunological applications.

The paper develops a pooled CRISPR activation screening platform in Drosophila cells to identify rapamycin resistance genes, finding three novel genes involved in RTK-Akt-mTOR pathway activation.
