This study shows that Bru1 regulates cytoskeleton dynamics and a splicing transition during Drosophila flight muscle development, leading to structural defects when disrupted.

This study shows Rbfox1 is essential for muscle fiber development and isoform expression in Drosophila, affecting both transcript levels and splicing through multiple regulatory mechanisms.

The paper shows how periodic GTPase waves coordinate leading and trailing edge dynamics during cell migration through RhoA-Rac1 interactions.
