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.

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.

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

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.

Understanding the Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of arboviruses in mosquitoes: progress and challenges [PDF]
, 2014 Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of controlling their replication in arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, are

SERCA is critical to control the Bowditch effect in the heart [PDF]
, 2018 The Bowditch effect or staircase phenomenon is the increment or reduction of contractile force when heart rate increases, defined as either a positive or negative staircase.

Pupal size as a proxy for fat content in laboratory-reared and field-collected Drosophila species
Scientific Reports, 2022 In arthropods, larger individuals tend to have more fat reserves, but data for many taxa are still missing. For the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, only few studies have provided experimental data linking body size to fat content.

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 ...

bioRxiv, 2018 Animals live together with diverse bacteria that can impact their biology. In Drosophila melanogaster, gut-associated bacterial communities are relatively simple in composition but also have a strong impact on host development and physiology. However, it

PLoS ONE, 2023 The C2H2 zinc finger gene cucoid establishes anterior-posterior (AP) polarity in the early embryo of culicine mosquitoes. This gene is unrelated to genes that establish embryo polarity in other fly species (Diptera), such as the homeobox gene bicoid ...
