This isn't a coincidence, IMO. The fly community is generally super rigorous - because there are so many tools and techniques available, people expect you to really nail things in order to get published (and keep getting funded)

Live-cell magnetic manipulation of recycling endosomes reveals their direct effect on actin protrusions to promote invasive migration Repositioning of Rab25 vesicles containing formin and integrin cargos to the cell periphery promotes protrusion formation.

OMG, this is such a cool paper from Patrick Caswell's lab. They express Rab25-mCherry-GFP-nanobody in cells, microinject GFP-magnetic particles, then use a magnet to pull Rab25 to the plasma membrane to show that it can trigger actin protrusions! I want this system.

Sphingomyelins in mosquito saliva reconfigure skin lipidome to promote viral protein levels and enhance transmission of flaviviruses Medkour et al. demonstrate that lipids of the sphingomyelin class in mosquito saliva facilitate the transmission of multiple flaviviruses. These salivary sphingomyelins reconfigure lipid homeostasis i...
