The paper shows that single-locus chromatin memory in Drosophila medulla progenitors allows spatial identity to be faithfully executed or flexibly bypassed during neuronal fate specification.

The paper shows calcium waves in Drosophila retinal support cells coordinate uniform tissue patterning through gap junction networks and size-dependent mechanical responses.

The paper annotates glial cell types in the Drosophila visual system using scRNA-seq and identifies subcellular mRNA compartmentalization.
