Interested in Unpaired group of proteins (Upds) in flies? Check out our latest review on Leptin and cytokine like signaling in Drosophila!! A big thanks to @zandawala for his constant support and guidance 🥂🎉🎊
New paper 🚨 from the lab! Our review on #leptin and #cytokine like signaling in #Drosophila is out now in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology. Huge congrats to co-author @gera_jayati for her first paper from the lab.

Congratulations to @philip_suess for successfully defending his thesis titled "Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms of pupal diapause termination". Many thanks to the opponent Christian Wegener @FlyNeuro and the committee Noushin Emami, Martin Andersson and Richard Walters.

Controlling arms and legs requires feedback from position/movement sensors (proprioceptors). But how is feedback flexibly tuned to match behavior? In our new preprint, we reveal how the motor system tunes proprioceptive feedback in Drosophila 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New lab preprint on modulation of #Drosophila insulin producing cells (IPCs). How do single-cell transcriptomic analyses compare with Gal4-based expression mapping? Are IPCs really a homogenous population of 14 cells? 🧵 (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Preprint 🚨
Everybody, put your cakes down! It’s time to talk about aminergic and peptidergic modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells (IPCs) in Drosophila.
I am over the moon to share our preprint today! 🤩

Very excited to share our latest pre-print on the modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in #Drosophila, conveniently unpacked for you in this🧵by @TinaHeld4, who spearheaded the project alongside @rituja14 and our collaborator & neighbor @zandawala.

Must neuropeptides be released at active zones in fly neurons? For PDF, the answer seems to be no. I would imagine this is probably true for other neuropeptides too! However, peptide release does require a calcium-dependent secretion activator (CADPS). doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.20.5…

Fresh preprint! Collaborative work with Chris Wegener's lab looking at the release of clock neuropeptide pigment dispersing factor.

Glad to see the first collaborative paper from the lab out with the incredible @LuisAlfonsoYan2 in @GenomeBiolEvol. Big thanks to the editors and staff at GBE for the smooth review process.
My first paper as an independent researcher has been published today!. Small but a beautiful story about neuropeptide evolution, performed in collaboration with my friend and collaborator @zandawala. Thanks to the @BBSRC and @LSI_Exeter for the funding. tinyurl.com/mpf6nmtm

Excited to share our study on clock plasticity, published at @PNASNews! In it, we show how moonlight fine-tunes a plastic daily clock that can run with both #circadian (24h) and circalunidian (24.8h) periodicity to schedule the hour of reproduction.
