The growth and survival of cells within tissues can be affected by 'cell competition'between
different cell clones. This phenomenon was initially recognized between wild-type cells and …

Neurotransmission is sustained by endocytosis and refilling of synaptic vesicles (SVs)
locally within the presynapse. Until recently, a consensus formed that after exocytosis, SVs …

Here, we document a collection of∼ 7434 MiMIC (Minos Mediated Integration Cassette)
insertions of which 2854 are inserted in coding introns. They allowed us to create a library of …

We demonstrate the versatility of a collection of insertions of the transposon Minos-mediated
integration cassette (MiMIC), in Drosophila melanogaster. MiMIC contains a gene-trap …

Vesicle exocytosis releases content to mediate many biological events, including synaptic
transmission essential for brain functions. Following exocytosis, endocytosis is initiated to …

Neurons can sustain high rates of synaptic transmission without exhausting their supply of
synaptic vesicles. This property relies on a highly efficient local endocytic recycling of …

Discoveries in fruit flies have greatly contributed to our understanding of neuroscience. The
use of an unparalleled wealth of tools, many of which originated between 1910–1960, has …

Synaptic vesicle recycling is one of the best‐studied cellular pathways. Many of the proteins
involved are known, and their interactions are becoming increasingly clear. However, as for …

Chemical synapses are sites of contact and information transfer between a neuron and its
partner cell. Each synapse is a specialized junction, where the presynaptic cell assembles …

Cell types rich in mitochondria, including neurons, display a high energy demand and a
need for calcium buffering. The importance of mitochondria for proper neuronal function is …
