Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance For most organisms, regenerative capacity varies at different stages of development. Changes in regenerative capacity often correlate with significant changes in systemic hormone signaling.

polished rice mediates ecdysone‐dependent control of Drosophila embryonic organogenesis
Genes to Cells, 2021 In many animals, progression of developmental stages is temporally controlled by steroid hormones. In Drosophila, the level of ecdysone titer oscillates and developmental stage transitions, such as larval molting and metamorphosis, are induced at each of

Essential functions of mosquito ecdysone importers in development and reproduction
bioRxiv, 2021 The primary insect steroid hormone ecdysone requires a membrane transporter to enter its target cells. Although an organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) named Ecdysone Importer (EcI) serves this role in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and ...

The ecdysone receptor regulates several key physiological factors in Anopheles funestus
Malaria Journal, 2022 Background Malaria is a devastating disease, transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium parasites. Current insecticide-based strategies exist to control the spread of malaria by targeting vectors.

Nuclear receptor DHR4 controls the timing of steroid hormone pulses during Drosophila development. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 In insects, precisely timed periodic pulses of the molting hormone ecdysone control major developmental transitions such as molts and metamorphosis. The synthesis and release of ecdysone, a steroid hormone, is itself controlled by PTTH (prothoracicotopic

Ecdysone acts through cortex glia to regulate sleep in Drosophila
eLife, 2023 Steroid hormones are attractive candidates for transmitting long-range signals to affect behavior. These lipid-soluble molecules derived from dietary cholesterol easily penetrate the brain and act through nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) that function as

Insects, 2022 In the present study, we observed a 58% decrease in the fecundity of Drosophila melanogaster, after treatment with the cyromazine. To further elucidate the effects of cyromazine on reproduction, we counted the number of both germline stem cells (GSCs ...

Ecdysone Elicits Chronic Renal Impairment via Mineralocorticoid-Like Pathogenic Activities
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Background/Aims: Ecdysteroids are steroidal insect molting hormones that also exist in herbs. Ecdysteroid-containing adaptogens have been popularly used to improve well-being and by bodybuilders for muscle growth.

Scientific Reports, 2020 Insect pathogens have adopted an array of mechanisms to subvert the immune pathways of their respective hosts. Suppression may occur directly at the level of host–pathogen interactions, for instance phagocytic capacity or phenoloxidase activation, or at ...
