This study identifies three distinct mechanisms by which Xrp1 is induced in response to different stresses in Drosophila, highlighting its role in the Integrated Stress Response.

This study shows that Drosophila wing discs continue growing during the larva-to-pupa transition and undergo growth arrest later in the pupal period, involving a switch that uncouples proliferation from tissue growth.

This study identifies Dilp8 as a hormone that establishes a time window for tissue size adjustment in Drosophila, ensuring bilateral symmetry by buffering developmental noise.

The paper shows that the Xrp1/Dilp8 axis coordinates inter-organ growth in Drosophila by linking organ growth status to systemic responses.
