PLoS ONE, 2019 The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has proven to be an excellent model organism for genetic, genomic and neurobiological studies. However, relatively little is known about the natural history of D. melanogaster.

Evolution of hydra, a recently evolved testis-expressed gene with nine alternative first exons in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 We describe here the Drosophila gene hydra that appears to have originated de novo in the melanogaster subgroup and subsequently evolved in both structure and expression level in Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling species. D.

Inferring Network Mechanisms: The Drosophila melanogaster Protein Interaction Network [PDF]
PNAS, Vol. 102, No. 9, pp. 3192-3197 (March 1, 2005), 2004 Naturally occurring networks exhibit quantitative features revealing underlying growth mechanisms. Numerous network mechanisms have recently been proposed to reproduce specific properties such as degree distributions or clustering coefficients.

Measuring the repertoire of age-related behavioral changes in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2021 Aging affects almost all aspects of an organism -- its morphology, its physiology, its behavior. Isolating which biological mechanisms are regulating these changes, however, has proven difficult, potentially due to our inability to characterize the full repertoire of an animal's behavior across the lifespan. Using data from fruit flies (D. melanogaster)

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 22-31, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used extensively as a white pigment in the food industry, personal care, and a variety of products of everyday use. Although TiO2 has been categorized as a bioinert material, recent evidence has demonstrated different toxicity profiles of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and a potential health risk to humans.

Effector Caspase Dcp-1 and IAP Protein Bruce Regulate Starvation-Induced Autophagy during Drosophila Melanogaster Oogenesis [PDF]
, 2008 A complex relationship exists between autophagy and apoptosis, but the regulatory mechanisms underlying their interactions are largely unknown. We conducted a systematic study of Drosophila melanogaster cell death–related genes to determine their ...

Comprehensive overview and assessment of miRNA target prediction tools in human and drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Current Bioinformatics (2019), 14(5): 432-445, 2017 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through complementary base pairing with the target mRNA, leading to mRNA degradation and blocking translation process. Any dysfunctions of these small regulatory molecules have been linked with the development and progression of several diseases.

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 We introduce a novel, low‐cost photoacoustic microscope, which is capable of listening to the laser light interactions with developing embryos of Parhyale hawaiensis emerging model organism. The presented label‐free imaging approach delineates the morphological features of the specimens with high resolution and contrast specificity, shedding light on ...
