On the Nephrocytes of Pediculus humanus
In Pediculus humanus are found two groups of excretory-accumulatory cells known as nephrocytes.The one group, the peri-oesophageal, lies ventrally and consists of large cells aggregated usually in two masses about the oesophagus anterior to the reniform salivary glands.The second group lies dorsally and consists of disseminated cell aggregates linked ...

ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

The Fruit Fly, Drosophila melanogaster: Modeling of Human Diseases (Part II) [PDF]
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen, 1830) has been established as a key model organism thanks in part to their considerable biological similarity to mammals and an abundance of available genetic tools.

Diet-Induced Podocyte Dysfunction in Drosophila and Mammals
Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease. Characterized by progressive microvascular disease, most efforts have focused on injury to the glomerular endothelium.

Evolved and Plastic Gene Expression in Adaptation of a Specialist Fly to a Novel Niche
ABSTRACT How gene expression evolves to enable divergent ecological adaptation and how changes in gene expression relate to genomic architecture are pressing questions for understanding the mechanisms enabling adaptation and ecological speciation. Furthermore, how plasticity in gene expression can both contribute to and be affected by the process of ...

Origin and evolution of microvilli
Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...
