Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii
eLife, 2022 The agricultural pest Drosophila suzukii differs from most other Drosophila species in that it lays eggs in ripe, rather than overripe, fruit. Previously, we showed that changes in bitter taste sensation accompanied this adaptation (Dweck et al., 2021 ...

Nature Communications, 2021 Parasitoids exploit host bodies for reproduction, selecting for host defences. A new host defence is reported, in which adult Drosophila accelerate mating behaviour at the sight of certain parasitoid wasps, mediated by the upregulation of a nervous ...

53bp1 mutation enhances brca1 and bard1 embryonic lethality in C. elegans
microPublication Biology, 2023 In mice, mutation of brca1 results in embryonic lethality, which is partially suppressed by 53bp1 mutation. In contrast, mutation of the C. elegans BRCA1 ortholog, brc-1, or its binding partner,brd-1, lead to only mild embryonic lethality.

Partial differential equations for self-organization in cellular and developmental biology [PDF]
Nonlinearity, 2008 Understanding the mechanisms governing and regulating the emergence of structure and heterogeneity within cellular systems, such as the developing embryo, represents a multiscale challenge typifying current integrative biology research, namely, explaining the macroscale behaviour of a system from microscale dynamics.

Non‐genetic diversity modulates population performance
Molecular Systems Biology, 2016 Biological functions are typically performed by groups of cells that express predominantly the same genes, yet display a continuum of phenotypes. While it is known how one genotype can generate such non‐genetic diversity, it remains unclear how different

XPO5 promotes primary miRNA processing independently of RanGTP
Nature Communications, 2020 XPO5 mediates nuclear export of miRNA hairpin precursors (pre-miRNAs) through a RanGTP-dependent binding. Here the authors employ HITS-CLIP and biochemical analysis and show that XPO5 binds and promotes nuclear processing of clustered pri-miRNAs, with ...

Noise reduction as an emergent property of single-cell aging
Nature Communications, 2017 Gene expression is a noisy process, but it is not known how noise in gene expression changes during the aging of single cells. Here the authors show that noise decreases during normal aging, and provide support for aging-associated increases in chromatin

Quantitative analysis of cell shape and the cytoskeleton in developmental biology
, 2018 Computational approaches that enable quantification of microscopy data have revolutionized the field of developmental biology. Due to its inherent complexity, elucidating mechanisms of development requires sophisticated analysis of the structure, shape ...

An efficient multiplex approach to CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in citrus
Plant MethodsCRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing requires high efficiency to be routinely implemented, especially in species which are laborious and slow to transform. This requirement intensifies further when targeting multiple genes simultaneously, which is required ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...
