Circadian rhythms in the Drosophila eye may regulate adaptation of vision to light intensity
Frontiers in NeuroscienceThe sensitivity of the eye at night would lead to complete saturation of the eye during the day. Therefore, the sensitivity of the eye must be down-regulated during the day to maintain visual acuity.

Development of Eye Colors in Drosophila: Extraction of the Diffusible Substances Concerned [PDF]
, 1937 The development of eye color in Drosophila is known to involve special diffusible substances [1,2]. A genetically vermilion (v) eye will develop wild-type eye color if it is supplied with v+ substance by transplantation or by injection of body fluid of ...

FAK acts as a suppressor of RTK-MAP kinase signalling in Drosophila melanogaster epithelia and human cancer cells [PDF]
, 2014 Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) and Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) regulate multiple signalling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. FAK interacts with several RTKs but little is known about how FAK regulates their downstream

Electrophoretic study of muscle and eye-lens proteins of three species of nemipterids [PDF]
, 1989 Muscle and eye-lens proteins of three fishes belonging to family Nemipteridae N.japonicus, N.mesoprion and N.delagoae were determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Densitometer scanning revealed species specific patlcrn for eye-lens proteins.

The Drosophila immunoglobulin gene turtle encodes guidance molecules involved in axon pathfinding [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Neuronal growth cones follow specific pathways over long distances in order to reach their appropriate targets. Research over the past 15 years has yielded a large body of information concerning the molecules that regulate this process.

Raman Analysis of Tear Fluid Alteration Following Contact Lense Use
Sensors, 2019 Tear fluid is a heterogeneous solution containing mainly proteins, lipids, mucins and electrolytes, which regulates the physiology of the human eye. The complex composition of tears can be altered in the presence of eye inflammations.

Abnormal photoreceptor outer segment development and early retinal degeneration in kif3a mutant zebrafish [PDF]
, 2016 Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that possess a modified primary cilium called the outer segment. Photoreceptor outer segment formation and maintenance require highly active protein transport via a process known as intraflagellar ...

A screen for E3 ubiquitination ligases that genetically interact with the adaptor protein Cindr during Drosophila eye patterning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification that can target proteins for degradation. The E3 ubiquitin ligases are responsible for recognizing substrate proteins for ubiquitination, hence providing specificity to the process of protein ...
