Open AccessThe lack of autophagy triggers precocious activation of Notch signaling during Drosophila oogenesis
The proper balance of autophagy, a lysosome-mediated degradation process, is indispensable for oogenesis in Drosophila. We recently demonstrated that egg development depends on autophagy in the somatic follicle c...

Open AccessMadm (Mlf1 adapter molecule) cooperates with Bunched A to promote growth in Drosophila
The TSC-22 domain family (TSC22DF) consists of putative transcription factors harboring a DNA-binding TSC-box and an adjacent leucine zipper at their carboxyl termini. Both short and long TSC22DF isoforms are ...
