Phototransduction in Drosophila [PDF]
Science China Life Sciences, 2012 The Drosophila visual transduction is the fastest known G protein-coupled signaling cascade and has been served as a model for understanding the molecular mechanisms of other G protein-coupled signaling cascades. Numbers of components in visual transduction machinery have been identified. Based on the functional characterization of these genes, a model

Ancestral polymorphisms in Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila miranda [PDF]
, 2011 Ancestral polymorphisms are defined as variants that arose by mutation prior to the speciation event that generated the species in which they segregate. Their presence may complicate the interpretation of molecular data and lead to incorrect phylogenetic

Drosophila Neural Stem Cells in Brain Development and Tumor Formation [PDF]
, 2014 Neuroblasts, the neural stem cells in Drosophila, generate the complex neural structure of the central nervous system. Significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms regulating the self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation in ...

In vivo detection of lamellocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
, 2009 Drosophila has recently become a powerful model organism for studies of innate immunity. The cellular elements of innate immunity in Drosophila, the hemocytes, have been characterized by morphological criteria, molecular markers, and cell-type-specific ...

Roles of Drosophila Hox Genes in the Assembly of Neuromuscular Networks and Behavior
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Hox genes have been known for specifying the anterior-posterior axis (AP) in bilaterian body plans. Studies in vertebrates have shown their importance in developing region-specific neural circuitry and diversifying motor neuron pools. In Drosophila, they

Molecular evolution and functional characterization of Drosophila insulin-like peptides [PDF]
, 2010 Multicellular animals match costly activities, such as growth and reproduction, to the environment through nutrient-sensing pathways. The insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) pathway plays key roles in growth, metabolism, stress resistance, reproduction, and ...
