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

open access: yesPhytomedicine 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.

Drosophila TRPM channel is essential for the control of extracellular magnesium levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The TRPM group of cation channels plays diverse roles ranging from sensory signaling to Mg2+ homeostasis. In most metazoan organisms the TRPM subfamily is comprised of multiple members, including eight in humans. However, the Drosophila TRPM subfamily is

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny

open access: yes, 2007
Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically improves the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust results than single-genome analyses can provide.

Neural stem cells in Drosophila : molecular genetic mechanisms underlying normal neural proliferation and abnormal brain tumor formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Neural stem cells in Drosophila are currently one of the best model systems for understanding stem cell biology during normal development and during abnormal development of stem cell-derived brain tumors.

Ubiquitination of secretory granules promotes their crinophagic degradation in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ubiquitination of secretory granules in Drosophila larval salivary glands is a critical molecular trigger for crinophagy, the lysosomal degradation of unreleased, or low‐quality granules. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Cnot4 is recruited to the surface of secretory granules to induce crinophagy.

In the quest for the ideal sweetener: Aspartame exacerbates selected biomarkers in the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) model of Alzheimer's disease more than sucrose

open access: yesAging Brain, 2023
This study evaluated the effect of dietary inclusions of aspartame and sucrose on some selected behavioral and biochemical indices linked with Alzheimer's disease in a transgenic fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) model expressing human amyloid ...

Postembryonic development of amplifying neuroblast lineages in the "Drosophila" brain : proliferation, differentiation and projection patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We identified a novel mode of neurogenesis in the larval brain of Drosophila that involves the amplification of neuroblast proliferation through intermediate progenitors (IPs). These intermediate neural progenitors are generated by asymmetric division of
