New reporter gene assays for detecting natural and synthetic molting hormone agonists using yeasts expressing ecdysone receptors of various insects

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2017
Synthetic nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists, a class of insect growth regulators (IGRs), target the ecdysone receptor (EcR), which forms a heterodimer with ultraspiracle (USP) to transactivate ecdysone response genes.

Mechanisms Underlying the Initiation and Termination of Collective Cell Migration: Perspectives for Understanding Development and Cancer Metastasis

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2026.
How collective cell migration starts and stops is a fundamental question but remains poorly understood. This review discusses the distinct mechanisms in in vivo models and cancer metastasis that define the regulatory pathways and collective features governing the initiation and termination of collective cell migration.

Ecdysone signaling induces two phases of cell cycle exit in Drosophila cells

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
During development, cell proliferation and differentiation must be tightly coordinated to ensure proper tissue morphogenesis. Because steroid hormones are central regulators of developmental timing, understanding the links between steroid hormone ...

Har-Relish and Har-CL can respond to ecdysone.

open access: yes, 2013
(A) Har-CL promoter activity in response to ecdysone exposure. (a) Dose-related response to ecdysone administration. To conduct luciferase activity assay, recombinant Har-Relish or Har-Rel-D plasmid was transfected into HzAM1 cells that contained Har-CL ...

Novel functions of Ecdysone receptor B1 isoform during Drosophila oogenesis

open access: yes, 2008
In Drosophila, ecdysone signaling is mediated by a heteromeric receptor composed of the Ecdysone Receptor protein (EcR) and the RXR homolog transcription factor Ultraspiracle (USP).

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship

open access: yesgenesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Morphogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster : an in vitro analysis

open access: yes, 2007
The aim of this thesis was to investigate morphogenesis in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster using three in vitro tissue culture systems. Primary embryonic cultures derived from Drosophila melanogaster were used to study the effect of the moulting
