The phytoecdysteroid β-ecdysone is genotoxic in Rodent Bone Marrow Micronuclei and Allium cepa L. Assays
(Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2018)
Fhos encodes a Drosophila Formin-Like Protein participating in autophagic programmed cell death
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2012)
Larval tissues undergo programmed cell death (PCD) during Drosophila metamorphosis. PCD is triggered in a stage and tissue-specific fashion in response to ecdysone pulses. The understanding of how ecdysone induces the stage ...
BhSGAMP-1, a Gene That Encodes an Antimicrobial Peptide, Is Developmentally Regulated by the Direct Action of 20-OH Ecdysone in the Salivary Gland of Bradysia hygida (Diptera, Sciaridae)
(WILEY-LISS, 2009)
Recently we have shown that BhSGAMP-1 is a developmentally regulated reiterated gene that encodes an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) and is expressed exclusively in the salivary glands, at the end of the larval stage. We show, ...
Indirect immune detection of ecdysone receptor (EcR) during the formation of DNA puffs in Bradysia hygida (Diptera, Sciaridae)
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Gene amplification occurs in Bradysia hygida salivary glands, at the end of the fourth larval instar. The hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) triggers this process, which results in DNA puff formation. Amplified genes are ...
An in vitro method for studying subcellular rearrangements during cell polarization in Drosophila melanogaster hemocytes
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2018)
© 2018Thanks to the power of Drosophila genetics, this animal model has been a precious tool for scientists to uncover key processes associated to innate immunity. The fly immune system relies on a population of macrophage-like ...
A role for Lin-28 in growth and metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V.Insect metamorphosis has been a classic model to understand the role of hormones in growth and timing of developmental transitions. In addition to hormones, transitions in some species are regulated by ...
