A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

This valuable study reports the first characterization of the CG14545 gene in Drosophila melanogaster, which the authors name "Sakura." Acting during germline stem cell fate and differentiation, ...

The present study aims to dissect the protective potential of a bioactive compound, rutin, against HSD-mediated effects on the behavioral, cellular, and biochemical parameters of a model organism, ...

To systematically evaluate the impact of the cell adhesion machinery on epithelial cytokinesis efficiency, we performed an RNAi-based modifier screen in the Drosophila follicular epithelium.

In the 1970s, as molecular genetic techniques became increasingly widespread, Drosophila larvae were the focus of two areas of research in which they continue to be important: developmental biology ...
