Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Rate and cost of adaptation in the Drosophila Genome [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Recent studies have consistently inferred high rates of adaptive molecular evolution between Drosophila species. At the same time, the Drosophila genome evolves under different rates of recombination, which results in partial genetic linkage between alleles at neighboring genomic loci. Here we analyze how linkage correlations affect adaptive evolution.

Design and construction of a new Drosophila species, D.synthetica, by synthetic regulatory evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Here, I merge the principles of synthetic biology^1,2^ and regulatory evolution^3-11^ to create a new species^12-15^ with a minimal set of known elements.

TRIB3 suppresses milk fatty acids metabolism by inhibiting p‐AKT/PPARG signaling in goat mammary epithelial cells

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
In this study, it revealed that TRIB3 could mediate the transcriptional activity of PPARG, inhibit the phosphorylation of akt, and reduce the expression of lipid metabolism‐related genes, thus inhibiting TAG synthesis and affecting fatty acid composition.

Adult Neurogenesis in Drosophila

Cell Reports, 2013
Adult neurogenesis has been linked to several cognitive functions and neurological disorders. Description of adult neurogenesis in a model organism like Drosophila could facilitate the genetic study of normal and abnormal neurogenesis in the adult brain.

Annexin, a Protein for All Seasons: From Calcium Dependent Membrane Metabolism to RNA Recognition

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Annexins are an important protein family traditionally well known to bind to phospholipids and to interact with various proteins in a calcium dependent way. More recently, it has been established that a feature common to the family is also to bind to RNA having a role in translation. In bies70019 article, Vedeler et al.

Effect of Itrifal Muqawwi-e-Dimagh (a polyherbal drug) on the transgenic Drosophila model of Parkinson's Disease

Phytomedicine Plus, 2021
Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the mid brain which leads to the depletion of dopamine levels.

Phytochemical Characterization and Potential Anti‐Oxidative Activity of Lavandula angustifolia subsp. pyrenaica (DC.), Lavandula x intermedia Emeric ex Loisel cv Grosso, and cv Super Essential Oils Compared to a Commercial Lavender Essential Oil

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the phytochemical profiles and antioxidant properties of three lavender essential oils (LEOs) from Lavandula angustifolia subsp. pyrenaica (DC.), Lavandula x intermedia Emeric ex Loisel cv Grosso, and Lavandula x intermedia Emeric ex Loisel cv Super, and compares them to a commercial one.
