    Electron transport chain biogenesis activated by a JNK-insulin-Myc relay primes mitochondrial inheritance in Drosophila

    Zong-Heng Wang, Yi Liu ... Hong Xu
    An insulin-Myc feed-forward loop triggered by transient JNK boosts transcription of genes essential for mitochondrial respiration and biogenesis during early oogenesis to support massive mtDNA replication and inheritance in Drosophila.

    Phosphoproteomic mapping reveals distinct signaling actions and activation of muscle protein synthesis by Isthmin-1

    Meng Zhao, Niels Banhos Danneskiold-Samsøe ... Katrin J Svensson
    The role of Isthmin-1 in muscle function is defined by using phosphoproteomics to identify distinct and overlapping signaling pathways between Isthmin-1 and insulin.

    Hedgehog signaling via Gli2 prevents obesity induced by high-fat diet in adult mice

    Yu Shi, Fanxin Long
    Targeted activation of Hedgehog signalling via Gli2 facilitated the reduction of high-fat-diet-induced obesity and improvement of whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in adult mice.

    CAMKII and Calcineurin regulate the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans through the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16

    Li Tao, Qi Xie ... Meng-Qiu Dong
    Longevity in C. elegans is influenced not only by insulin/IGF-1 signalling, but also by CAMKII and calcineurin, acting on the same target, the transcription factor DAF-16.

    Islet vascularization is regulated by primary endothelial cilia via VEGF-A-dependent signaling

    Yan Xiong, M Julia Scerbo ... Per-Olof Berggren
    Primary cilia on endothelial cells are required for VEGF-A/ VEGFR2-dependent signaling, islet vascularization and, consequently, nutrient delivery and insulin disposal.

    The fat body cortical actin network regulates Drosophila inter-organ nutrient trafficking, signaling, and adipose cell size

    Rupali Ugrankar-Banerjee, Son Tran ... W Mike Henne
    Fat-body-specific loss of actin isoform Act5C disrupts fat body cell growth and fat storage, lipoprotein secretion, and insulin signaling, revealing a non-canonical role for the cortical actin cytoskeleton in nutrient signaling and inter-organelle trafficking.
