The host defense of Drosophila melanogaster.
Annual Review of Immunology, 2007 To combat infection, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster relies on multiple innate defense reactions, many of which are shared with higher organisms. These reactions include the use of physical barriers together with local and systemic immune responses.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Destabilization of mutated human PUS3 protein causes intellectual disability
Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2063-2078, December 2022., 2022 The homodimer of pseudouridine synthase 3 converts uridines at position 39 in tRNAs to pseudouridine (ψ), which affects tRNA stability and regulates RNA–protein interactions. Several patient‐derived variants of PUS3 have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

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.

Multifractal analysis of the long-range correlations in the cardiac dynamics of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, vol. 28, p.p. 768-775 (2006), 2005 Time series of heartbeat activity of humans can exhibit long-range correlations. In this paper we show that such kind of correlations can exist for the heartbeat activity of much simpler species like Drosophila melanogaster. By means of the method of multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) we calculate fractal spectra $f(\alpha)$ and $h(q)$

Gustatory Processing in Drosophila melanogaster.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2018 The ability to identify nutrient-rich food and avoid toxic substances is essential for an animal's survival. Although olfaction and vision contribute to food detection, the gustatory system acts as a final checkpoint control for food acceptance or ...

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 ...

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
