Drosophila Myc

open access: yesAdvances in cancer research, 2009
Myc genes play a major role in human cancer, and they are important regulators of growth and proliferation during normal development. Despite intense study over the last three decades, many aspects of Myc function remain poorly understood. The identification of a single Myc homolog in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster more than 10 years ago ...

A Subcircuit in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Generates Wakefulness

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a sub‐circuit within the circadian pacemaker suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that promotes arousal. This sub‐circuit is labeled by the clock output molecule mWAKE, which suppresses its excitability in a time‐dependent manner. mWAKE‐expressing cells in the SCN (SCNmWAKE cells) project to the subparaventricular zone (SPZ) to mediate ...

A Novel Genetic Screen Identifies Modifiers of Age-Dependent Amyloid β Toxicity in the Drosophila Brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients begins many years before clinical onset. Such process has been proposed to be pathogenic through the toxicity of Aβ soluble oligomers leading to synaptic ...

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.

The case for emulating insect brains using anatomical "wiring diagrams" equipped with biophysical models of neuronal activity

open access: yes, 2018
Developing whole-brain emulation (WBE) technology would provide immense benefits across neuroscience, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...

Targeting Seipin to Alleviate Hepatic Steatosis in Zebrafish (Danio Rerio)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Seipin plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. Seipin overexpression ameliorates high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic steatosis and enhances growth in zebrafish. Mechanistically, Seipin interacts with Plin2 to promote Plin2 degradation and enhances phosphatidylcholine synthesis via Seipin/CCTα/CHPT interactions.
