The Drosophila melanogaster host model [PDF]
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2012 The deleterious and sometimes fatal outcomes of bacterial infectious diseases are the net result of the interactions between the pathogen and the host, and the genetically tractable fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has emerged as a valuable tool for modeling the pathogen-host interactions of a wide variety of bacteria.

Pengaruh Suhu Terhadap Siklus Hidup Lalat Buah (Drosophila melanogaster)
Bioeksperimen: Jurnal Penelitian Biologi, 2019 Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) generally have four phases in their life cycle, namely eggs, larvae, pupae and imago. In general, Drosophila melanogaster experiences a life cycle of 8-11 days at optimal temperatures.

Minibrain/Dyrk1a regulates food intake through the Sir2-FOXO-sNPF/NPY pathway in Drosophila and mammals. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Feeding behavior is one of the most essential activities in animals, which is tightly regulated by neuroendocrine factors. Drosophila melanogaster short neuropeptide F (sNPF) and the mammalian functional homolog neuropeptide Y (NPY) regulate food intake.

Nejire/dCBP-mediated control of H3 acetylation and transcriptional regulation by testis-specific Plus3 domain proteins during Drosophila spermatogenesis [PDF]
, 2018 Spermatogenesis describes the development from germ line stem cells to highly specialized sperm. Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis is a good model system for chromatin remodelling processes as many of these processes are similar in mammals and in ...

Autophagy in Drosophila melanogaster
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2009 Macroautophagy (autophagy) is a bulk cytoplasmic degradation process that is conserved from yeast to mammals. Autophagy is an important cellular response to starvation and stress, and plays critical roles in development, cell death, aging, immunity, and cancer.

Patterns of nucleotide diversity at the regions encompassing the Drosophila insulin-like peptide (dilp) genes: demography vs. positive selection in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In Drosophila, the insulin-signaling pathway controls some life history traits, such as fertility and lifespan, and it is considered to be the main metabolic pathway involved in establishing adult body size.

Numerical discrimination in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2022 AbstractSensitivity to numbers is a crucial and evolutionarily conserved cognitive ability. The lack of experimental models amenable to systematic genetic and neural manipulation has precluded discovering circuits required for numerical cognition. Here, we demonstrate that in a two-choice task Drosophila fruit flies spontaneously prefer sets containing

Circadian Entrainment of Drosophila Melanogaster [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2020 Nearly universal among organisms, circadian rhythms coordinate biological activity to earth's orbit around the sun. To identify factors creating this rhythm and to understand the resulting outputs, entrainment of model organisms to defined circadian time-points is required.

Effector Caspase Dcp-1 and IAP Protein Bruce Regulate Starvation-Induced Autophagy during Drosophila Melanogaster Oogenesis [PDF]
, 2008 A complex relationship exists between autophagy and apoptosis, but the regulatory mechanisms underlying their interactions are largely unknown. We conducted a systematic study of Drosophila melanogaster cell death–related genes to determine their ...

The developmental transcriptome of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Nature, 2010 Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most well studied genetic model organisms; nonetheless, its genome still contains unannotated coding and non-coding genes, transcripts, exons and RNA editing sites. Full discovery and annotation are pre-requisites for understanding how the regulation of transcription, splicing and RNA editing directs the ...
