Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Appraisal of species composition and ecology of Drosophilids in the Lower Swat Valley, Pakistan

International Journal of Applied and Experimental Biology
The drosophilid fauna of Pakistan remains largely understudied with numerous cities in the country yet to be thoroughly surveyed. This study aimed to investigate the drosophilid fauna of tehsil Babuzai in the Lower Swat Valley, Pakistan.

Natural variation in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2007
This work is dedicated to studying natural variation in D. melanogaster at the DNA sequence and gene expression level. In addition I present a new version of the DNA polymorphism analysis program VariScan, which includes significant improvements.

Definition of Drosophila hemocyte subsets by cell-type specific antigens.

, 2007
We analyzed the heterogeneity of Drosophila hemocytes on the basis of the expression of cell-type specific antigens. The antigens characterize distinct subsets which partially overlap with those defined by morphological criteria.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Successive increases in the resistance of Drosophila to viral infection through a transposon insertion followed by a Duplication

, 2011
To understand the molecular basis of how hosts evolve resistance to their parasites, we have investigated the genes that cause variation in the susceptibility of Drosophila melanogaster to viral infection.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Progressive Cellularization of Blastoderm and Extraembryonic Tissue Formation in the Ant Camponotus floridanus

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Illustration of the process of cellularization in Camponotus floridanus (top row) compared to Drosophila melanogaster (bottom row). Progressive direct formation of differentiating blastoderm mode is depicted using hexagons that represent energids (without borders) and cells (with borders). Colors of nuclei represent different cell types.

The Role of HUWE1 on Mouse Neural Cell Proliferation and Zebrafish Neurodevelopment

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The HECT, UBA, and WWE domain‐containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (HUWE1) gene is located on the X chromosome and has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the mechanisms by which HUWE1 dosage affects nervous system development remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that HUWE1 overexpression suppresses
