Glial Hedgehog and lipid metabolism regulate neural stem cell proliferation in Drosophila

Qian Dong, Michael Zavortink, Francesca Froldi…·Louise Y Cheng

This study shows that glial Hedgehog signaling and lipid metabolism regulate neural stem cell proliferation in Drosophila by modulating Hh signaling through lipid droplets and palmitoylation.

Egg activation triggers clearance of maternally deposited RNA binding proteins

Michael Zavortink, Lauren N. Rutt, Svetlana Dzitoyeva…·Olivia S. Rissland

The paper shows that egg activation triggers the degradation of maternally deposited RNA binding proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mediated by Kondo and CTLH ligase.
