Insect Science, EarlyView.Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

The insulator protein CTCF regulates Drosophila steroidogenesis
Biology Open, 2015 The steroid hormone ecdysone is a central regulator of insect development. In this report we show that CTCF expression in the prothoracic gland is required for full transcriptional activation of the Halloween genes spookier, shadow and noppera-bo, which ...

Dpp regulates autophagy-dependent midgut removal and signals to block ecdysone production
Cell Death and Differentiation, 2018 Animal development and homeostasis require the programmed removal of cells. Autophagy-dependent cell deletion is a unique form of cell death often involved in bulk degradation of tissues.

Aging Cell, EarlyView.Dietary sterols are essential nutrients for maintaining intestinal barrier integrity. Sterol competition caused by female reproduction exacerbates intestinal barrier damage during aging, thereby shortening female lifespan. ABSTRACT The trade‐off between reproduction and lifespan has been documented across a wide array of organisms, ranging from ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Ovarian development plays an important role in the life history of insects and is crucial for control of the insect population. The metamorphosis of an insect is precisely regulated by the interaction of the juvenile hormone and ecdysone.

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020 Aldosterone is produced by the mammalian adrenal cortex to modulate blood pressure and fluid balance; however, excessive, prolonged aldosterone promotes fibrosis and kidney failure.

Coordinated regulation of niche and stem cell precursors by hormonal signaling. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 Stem cells and their niches constitute units that act cooperatively to achieve adult body homeostasis. How such units form and whether stem cell and niche precursors might be coordinated already during organogenesis are unknown.

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

Communications BiologyHistone acetylation, a crucial epigenetic modification, is governed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), that regulate many biological processes. Functions of HATs in insects are not well understood.
