This study identifies and characterizes a novel Drosophila receptor tyrosine kinase, Beba, showing its role in reproductive niche organization through gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses.

The paper develops a flexible diet platform for nutrigenomic screening in Drosophila disease models, showing it can identify nutrient-specific effects on disease phenotypes.

SAMBA provides a semi-automated tool for behavioural analysis using SAM2, enabling phenotyping of Drosophila and other organisms without specialized equipment or coding.

This study establishes a Drosophila model of ECHS1 deficiency and shows that valine restriction improves larval survival.

This paper introduces an adjusted diet formula for Drosophila melanogaster larvae to improve growth, development, and survival, with applications in studying metabolic disorders.
