The smell of love in Drosophila [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Odors are key sensory signals for social communication and food search in animals including insects. Drosophila melanogaster, is a powerful neurogenetic model commonly used to reveal molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in odorant detection. Males use olfaction together with other sensory modalities to find their mates.

Exploring Autophagy in Drosophila [PDF]
Cells, 2017 Autophagy is a catabolic process in eukaryotic cells promoting bulk or selective degradation of cellular components within lysosomes. In recent decades, several model systems were utilized to dissect the molecular machinery of autophagy and to identify the impact of this cellular “self-eating” process on various physiological and pathological processes.

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.

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.

Cellular Microbiology, 2007 Like in vertebrates, Drosophila haematopoiesis occurs in two waves. It gives rise to three types of haemocytes: plasmatocytes (phagocytosis), crystal cells (melanization) and lamellocytes (encapsulation of parasites). A first population of haemocytes, specified during embryogenesis, gives rise to an invariant number of plasmatocytes and crystal cells ...

Drosophila errantiviruses [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2012 Retroelements with long-terminal repeats (LTRs) inhabit nearly all eukaryotic genomes. During the time of their rich evolutionary history they have developed highly diverse forms, ranging from ordinary retrotransposons to complex pathogenic retroviruses such as HIV-I.
