This study shows Med12 and Med13 prevent dedifferentiation of intermediate neural progenitors and loss of neural stem cells in Drosophila by regulating gene expression through interactions with different mediator complex subsets.

The paper shows that Spen and Nito repress E(Spl)mγ translation in stem cells to prevent progeny dedifferentiation during asymmetric division.

This study shows that Slit-mediated repulsion between dendrites and axons in Drosophila mushroom body neurons regulates subcellular-specific targeting and affects learning and memory.

The paper investigates how dendrites and axons are targeted to specific subcellular domains in the central nervous system using Drosophila mushroom body neurons.

This study identifies PntP1's mechanism of suppressing Ase in type II neuroblasts by activating Tailless, which in turn represses Ase and maintains NB identity.
