This study identifies candidate genes for lung function in Drosophila melanogaster through loss-of-function analysis, finding 11 genes involved in epithelial homeostasis and COPD-related gene expression differences.

This study identifies new sequoia alleles and shows that seq mutations affect CNS development, axonal outgrowth, and morphology in Drosophila.

This study shows that centrosome loss in Drosophila affects axonal routing and muscle organization during development.

This study identifies Blimp-1's role in coordinating gene expression for tracheal lumen maturation in Drosophila by regulating chitin deposition and F-actin organization.
