Drosophila melanogaster: A Model Organism to Study Cancer
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Cancer is a multistep disease driven by the activation of specific oncogenic pathways concomitantly with the loss of function of tumor suppressor genes that act as sentinels to control physiological growth.

The number of genes in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Nature, 1978 THE number of genes in an organism is one of its fundamental biological parameters and relates to the number of functions required to construct that organism and determine its physiological characteristics. It is generally assumed that with increasing organic complexity the number of genes of the species must increase.

The DNA polymerases of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Fly, 2020 DNA synthesis during replication or repair is a fundamental cellular process that is catalyzed by a set of evolutionary conserved polymerases. Despite a large body of research, the DNA polymerases of Drosophila melanogaster have not yet been systematically reviewed, leading to inconsistencies in their nomenclature, shortcomings in their functional ...

Contrasting patterns of transposable element insertions in Drosophila heat-shock promoters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The proximal promoter regions of heat-shock genes harbor a remarkable number of P transposable element (TE) insertions relative to both positive and negative control proximal promoter regions in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Anatomy and Physiology of the Digestive Tract of Drosophila melanogaster
Genetics, 2018 The gastrointestinal tract has recently come to the forefront of multiple research fields. It is now recognized as a major source of signals modulating food intake, insulin secretion and energy balance.

A protein restricted diet induces a stable increased fat storage phenotype in flies
Toxicology Reports, 2023 Background: Scientific evidence has revealed possible confounders in diet induced obesity models of Drosophila melanogaster. High Sugar Diet (HSD) induction of obesity in flies has been associated with fly hyperosmolarity and glucotoxicity, while High ...
