This study shows that the RNA-binding protein Swm is essential for maintaining intestinal progenitor cell identity and function in Drosophila.

This study identifies miR-125 and its target chinmo as regulators of dietary restriction-induced lifespan extension in Drosophila, highlighting their role in fat metabolism and longevity.

The paper identifies split-GAL4 drivers and enhancers for regional cell type manipulation in Drosophila melanogaster intestine, enabling precise gene expression control.

The paper introduces a dissection-free method to profile RNA-protein interactions in Drosophila intestinal progenitor cells using a GAL4 driver and UV cross-linked whole animal lysate, achieving high transcript capture with low background noise.

This study shows that dLDH is dispensable for larval growth but its absence is compensated by increased G3P production, which affects redox balance and interacts with GPDH1 to influence development.
