Researchers from New York University have developed a new protocol to generate gene specific split GAL4 lines in Drosophila ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

Researchers have identified a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-coding gene named bishu-1. It is involved in the thermal responsiveness of cool temperature-sensing neurons by regulating ionotropic ...

Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable model for preclinical testing of drugs with therapeutic potential for AAMPD because of small genome size, short generation time, and shorter mean life span ...

Here, we describe a simple and reliable FISH method to label small RNAs (200-500 nucleotides in length) that are enriched in nuclear bodies in Drosophila melanogaster ovaries, such as Cajal bodies ...

Here, we developed a model for chronic, non-intoxicating ethanol ingestion in the adult fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and paired this with the tractability of the fly gut microbiota, which can ...

Intriguingly, PTTH loss reduces innate immune signaling during Drosophila development via the steroid hormone ecdysone. Moreover, temporal and spatial inactivation of developmental innate immune ...

Here, we show that stimulating Drosophila epidermal cells elicits activation of SSNs including nociceptors and triggers a variety of behavior outputs, including avoidance and escape. Further, we find ...

In addition, it is said that when hearing the news of Qu Yuan's suicide, some doctors poured realgar wine into the Miluo River to anaesthetize the fishes, hence preventing them from eating Qu Yuan's ...
