In Drosophila Hemolymph, Serine Proteases Are the Major Gelatinases and Caseinases
InsectsAfter separation on gel zymography, Drosophila melanogaster hemolymph displays gelatinase and caseinase bands of varying sizes, ranging from over 140 to 25 kDa.

A connectome and analysis of the adult Drosophila central brain
bioRxiv, 2020 The neural circuits responsible for animal behavior remain largely unknown. We summarize new methods and present the circuitry of a large fraction of the brain of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

The Functions of the Multiproduct and Rapidly Evolving \u3cem\u3edec-1\u3c/em\u3e Eggshell Gene Are Conserved Between Evolutionarily Distant Species of Drosophila [PDF]
, 2001 The Drosophila dec-1 gene encodes multiple proteins that are required for female fertility and proper eggshell morphogenesis. Genetic and immunolocalization data suggest that the different DEC-1 proteins are functionally distinct.

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]
, 2012 Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

The bacterial symbiont Wolbachia induces resistance to RNA viral infections in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 Wolbachia are vertically transmitted, obligatory intracellular bacteria that infect a great number of species of arthropods and nematodes. In insects, they are mainly known for disrupting the reproductive biology of their hosts in order to increase their

Attraction to natural stimuli in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The animals, in particular insects (Drosophila melanogaster), response towards odor stimuli in nature can be established by measuring the dynamic of the odor response. Such an approach is innovative since responses to odors were tested only at certain time point so far, not in hour intervals for several hours.

mRNA active transport in oocyte-early embryo: 3D agent-based modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Axes of polarity (and primary morphogenetic gradients) are established in the oocyte - early embryo through active transport and localization of maternal factors. It is the oocyte - syncytial embryo of Drosophila (D. melanogaster) that is a model object for studying the molecular machinery of such transport systems.

Locomotor Assay in Drosophila melanogaster
BIO-PROTOCOL, 2017 This protocol describes a simple locomotor assay in Drosophila melanogaster. In brief, the locomotor of each single fly in the culture dish is recorded by a web camera. The moving time, walking length, speed and the locomotor trails of the single fly could be quantitatively analyzed.

The control of wing kinematics and flight forces in fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) [PDF]
, 1998 By simultaneously measuring flight forces and stroke kinematics in several species of fruit flies in the genus Drosophila, we have investigated the relationship between wing motion and aerodynamic force production. We induced tethered flies to vary their
