This paper shows that repeated tissue regeneration in Drosophila imaginal discs can lead to tumorigenesis without oncogene activation or tumor suppressor loss, highlighting a link between chronic injury and cancer.

The paper introduces an alternating angle milling technique to reduce streaking artifacts in FIB-SEM imaging, improving structural data quality by minimizing non-uniform material removal.

This study shows that Puckered-mediated JNK signaling in pioneer neurons regulates VNC architecture and motor circuit coordination in Drosophila embryos.

The paper investigates the mechanics of Drosophila ventral nerve cord condensation, revealing oscillatory contractions and coordinated mechanical interactions between neurons and glia.
