Metabolic control of daily locomotor activity mediated by tachykinin in Drosophila

Communications Biology, 2021
Lee and colleagues report the effect of a high-sucrose diet on Drosophila locomotor activity via DTk-TkR86C neuropeptide signalling. This signalling pattern appears to involve a circadian element, with pacemaker neuron involvement having a possible time ...

JAK/STAT signaling in stem cells and regeneration: from Drosophila to vertebrates

Development, 2019
The JAK/STAT pathway is a conserved metazoan signaling system that transduces cues from extracellular cytokines into transcriptional changes in the nucleus. JAK/STAT signaling is best known for its roles in immunity. However, recent work has demonstrated

Drosophila haematopoiesis

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 ...

Effect of Centella asiatica Leaf Extract on the Dietary Supplementation in Transgenic Drosophila Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's Disease, 2014
The role of Centella asiatica L. leaf extract was studied on the transgenic Drosophila model flies expressing normal human alpha synuclein (h-αS) in the neurons. The leaf extract was prepared in acetone and was subjected to GC-MS analysis. C.

Drosophila tools and assays for the study of human diseases

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Many of the internal organ systems of Drosophila melanogaster are functionally analogous to those in vertebrates, including humans. Although humans and flies differ greatly in terms of their gross morphological and cellular features, many of the ...
