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.

Vancomycin caused nephrotoxicity in rats. Lycopene treatment showed ameliorative efficacy on vancomycin‐induced nephrotoxicity. This efficacy of lycopene was dose dependent. ABSTRACT Background The most important side effect of vancomycin (Vanco) is nephrotoxicity (NPT).

Histological Differences between the Color Patterns of Two Strains of the Compound Ascidian Polyandrocarpa misakiensis [PDF]
We examined histological differences between the color patterns of two strains of the compound styelid ascidian Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. Two strains in this species show different color patterns.

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 ...

Analysis of the Cupiennius salei transcriptome identified seven putative Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) genes, six for soluble AChEs and one, CsAChE7, likely encoding a membrane‐bound synaptic AChE. Soluble AChEs were expressed in the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, muscle, and heart, while CsAChE7 was exclusive to the nervous system.

Analysis of ultrastructural morphometric changes of pigeon kidneys affected by colibacteriosis [PDF]
. The article provides data on the morphometric changes in the kidneys of pigeons with colibacteriosis. Patho-morphological examination of the kidneys revealed focal hyperemia of the kidney cortical area and edema of the loose fibrous tissue.

Variation in Whole‐Body Regeneration Between Botrylloides Morphs and Species
Marine invertebrates exhibit an impressive regenerative capacity. Among these lineages, colonial ascidians possess the unique ability of whole‐body regeneration (WBR), in which a new adult (zooid) body is restored. Botrylloides species exemplify this regenerative capacity by regenerating new adults solely from vascular tissue within approximately 2 ...

Transgenic human nephrin in Drosophila nephrocytes facilitates variant analysis
Nephrin, the key structural protein of the slit diaphragm, is encoded by NPHS1. Pathogenic variants in this gene are the primary cause of congenital nephrotic syndrome. About 400 variants have been described but functional characterization in vitro is very limited.Here, we express human nephrin in Drosophila nephrocytes, which possess a molecularly ...
