The paper identifies the SIFamide circuit in Drosophila as the functional homolog of the mammalian vagus nerve, showing its role in integrating metabolic and reproductive signals.

This study shows that membrane-tethering of honeybee defensin1 in Drosophila boosts antimicrobial efficacy but increases host vulnerability under stress.

The paper identifies a CLK/CYC-dependent circuit in Drosophila that regulates interval timing independently of circadian rhythms.

This study shows apamin, a honeybee venom peptide, has antimicrobial effects in Drosophila by targeting harmful bacteria and promoting beneficial ones, improving gut health and barrier integrity.

This study identifies a synthetic peptide, PAN4, with antimicrobial, stress-tolerant, and anti-tumor properties in Drosophila, showing potential for improving honeybee health and resilience.

This study investigates how transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors influences context-dependent behavioral and physiological responses across species.

This study identifies SIFa neurons in Drosophila that integrate internal and external signals to regulate energy balance, sleep, and mating behavior through context-dependent feedback loops.
