The paper shows that glia phagocytose neuronal sphingolipids to support their development and synapse infiltration in fruit flies.

The paper identifies Tre1 and S1pr1 as evolutionarily conserved regulators of astrocyte morphology through lipid signaling and competition for growth-promoting phospholipids.

This study shows Tweek is essential for astrocyte phagocytosis and ER-PM contact formation during neuronal remodeling in Drosophila.
Taylor R. Jay, Yunsik Kang, Amanda Jefferson, Marc R. Freeman
The paper develops a GFP-based ELISA assay for rapid, quantitative genetic screens in Drosophila, identifying Syntaxins as novel regulators of astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination.
