The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom bodies.
Intrinsic cell cycle progression governs developmental time in neural stem cells by regulating temporal gene transitions that generate neural diversity.
The presence of an organelle called the fusome in species as diverse as Drosophila and mammals indicates an ancient, conserved programme of germ cell development.
