Cofilin Suppresses Tau-Induced Defects in Dense-Core Granule Formation and Aβ-Induced Neurodegeneration

This study shows that cofilin overexpression suppresses tau- and Aβ-induced defects in dense-core granule formation and neurodegeneration in Drosophila.

Rab11-exosome biogenesis regulators mediate Aβ-induced intercellular propagation of endolysosomal trafficking defects and neurodegeneration

This study shows that Rab11-exosome biogenesis regulators like Chmp5 control Aβ-induced endolysosomal trafficking defects and neurodegeneration in Drosophila.

APP and β-amyloid modulate protein aggregation and dissociation from recycling endosomal and exosomal membranes

The paper shows APP and Aβ-peptides modulate protein aggregation and DCG biogenesis in Drosophila cells, with mutant Aβ-peptides disrupting these processes and causing AD-like pathologies.

Planar cell polarity: intracellular asymmetry and supracellular gradients of Dachsous

The paper measures a supracellular gradient of Dachsous (Ds) in Drosophila abdomen and shows how Four-jointed (Fj) affects intracellular asymmetry and PCP robustness.
