The paper characterizes neuropeptide T2A-GAL4 knock-in lines in Drosophila, showing that adult GAL4 reporter patterns may not reflect ongoing activity and can have developmental effects.

This study shows Zyxin and Ajuba limit Hippo signaling and promote Drosophila tissue growth by regulating junctions and Warts kinase activity.

The paper shows octopamine signaling coordinates presynaptic machinery spatial patterns in Drosophila mushroom body neurons through Octβ2R and cAMP signaling, influenced by food deprivation.

This study identifies the mTOR-Z-Phae1 axis as a genetic pathway regulating stress-induced organismal death in Drosophila larvae.
