Happy we could make a minor contribution by providing a Brainbow construct, which the team used to map neuronal projections
Tribolium Brainbow soon available on Addgene

After decades of strict movement restrictions, socioeconomic and political isolation, widespread male migration has profoundly transformed the lifestyles of the Pomak minority in North-Eastern Greece....
Finding molecular tags that localise fluorescent proteins to the cell membrane was the goal of our latest paper, now published in Development @dev-journal.bsky.social. The tags act as address labels, sending proteins to the cell membrane, where they highlight the shape and arrangement of cells. 2/9
Summary: Screening a toolkit of diverse membrane-localising tags identifies candidates that efficiently localise proteins to the plasma membrane in a wide range of animals and choanoflagellates.journals.biologists.com
