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 ...

Host species and environmental effects on bacterial communities associated with Drosophila in the laboratory and in the natural environment [PDF]

, 2012
The fruit fly Drosophila is a classic model organism to study adaptation as well as the relationship between genetic variation and phenotypes. Although associated bacterial communities might be important for many aspects of Drosophila biology, knowledge about their diversity, composition, and factors shaping them is limited.

Overexpressing temperature-sensitive dynamin decelerates phototransduction and bundles microtubules in drosophila photoreceptors [PDF]

, 2009
shibire(ts1), a temperature-sensitive mutation of the Drosophila gene encoding a Dynamin orthologue, blocks vesicle endocytosis and thus synaptic transmission, at elevated, or restrictive temperatures.

Exploring the neurotoxicity and changes in life cycle parameters of Drosophila melanogaster exposed to arecoline

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2018
Background Arecoline (an alkaloid) has been reported as a potent cytotoxic as well as genotoxic agent but its neurotoxic effects are limited. Material and methods In the present study, we evaluated the neurotoxic effects and changes in life cycle ...

Protective capacity of carotenoid trans-astaxanthin in rotenone-induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster

Scientific Reports, 2022
Trans-astaxanthin (TA), a keto-carotenoid found in aquatic invertebrates, possesses anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Rotenone is used to induce oxidative stress-mediated Parkinson’s disease (PD) in animals.
