Pharyngeal neuronal mechanisms governing sour taste perception in Drosophila melanogaster

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  This is a useful contribution to our understanding of taste perception. The idea that specific receptors function in the pharynx to mediate responses to carboxylic acids is interesting, although the expression analysis is incomplete. Reviewers also have a number of other suggestions for improvement, including the request that authors provide more details about the methodology used. In general, the claims are supported by solid evidence and add to a growing body of literature on this topic.

Spiral-eyes: A soft active matter model of in vivo corneal epithelial cell migration

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  This useful study describes a physical mechanism for the emergence of spiral patterns in the outer epithelial layer of the mammalian cornea independent of pre-patterning or guidance cues, using an agent-based model of self-propelled particles with alignment. The model is well constructed, however the central premise of the manuscript, that the spiral patterning of epithelial corneal cells occurs without guidance cues, is incomplete and not fully supported. Several significant questions remain unanswered, such as the role of the corneal curvature or the importance of topological defects. Furthermore, comparison between the model and data are qualitative at best for the moment.
