    Protocol for quantitative ethology on natural social interactions in Drosophila: STAR Protocols - 1 year(s) ago

    Summary Quantitative ethology of social interactions between free-moving animals enables precise measurement of behavioral kinematics critical for various disciplines such as neuroscience. Here, we describe a set of tools for quantitative ethology of social interactions including the analysis pipeline SoAL, the training dataset SDPD, and the camera control software MIAS, along with experimental…

      For flying insects like #Drosophila, maintaining aerial stability is a constant balancing act. Researchers have identified key roles for two prominent wing steering muscles that fruit flies use to actuate these reflexes.

    Expression of retrotransposons contributes to aging in Drosophila - 2 year(s) ago

    Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements capable of self-replication and insertion into new genomic locations. Across species, the mobilization of retrotransposons in somatic cells has been suggested to contribute to the cell and tissue functional decline that occurs during aging. Retrotransposon expression generally increases with age, and de novo insertions have been observed to…

    Selective role of the DNA helicase Mcm5 in BMP retrograde signaling during Drosophila neuronal differentiation - 2 year(s) ago

    Author summary The MCM2-7 complex plays a critical role in the DNA replication allowing cells to progress throughout the cell cycle and divide. Overexpression or mutation in MCM2-7 genes is linked to and may drive several cancer types in humans. While MCM2-7 complex is widely expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) during development, its role is not yet clear. Here, we use the CNS of…

    Fasciclin 2 engages EGFR in an auto-stimulatory loop to promote imaginal disc cell proliferation in Drosophila - 2 year(s) ago

    Author summary A key problem in developmental biology is how species-specific organ size is determined. Control of organ growth occurs at different levels of organization, from the systemic to the cell to cell interaction level. During nervous system development cell contact interactions regulate axon growth. Here, we show that one of the cell adhesion molecules involved in controlling axon…
