Author summary Salivary glands play important roles in the feeding process of animals. The salivary glands of insects can secrete various proteins through the exocrine pathway to help them digest and regulate the defense response of host. The endocrine function of insect salivary glands is rarely reported. We found that decreased expression of the salivary protein gene NlG14 resulted in abnormal…

🔎 This recent study from researchers at Nanjing Agricultural University found the salivary gland specific protein NlG14 indirectly mediated BPH ovulation process, establishing a connexon in function between insect salivary gland and ovary: https://t.co/f0RMvYIVgi https://t.co/7NaPybnhQ9

Mashup Score: 0Buffered EGFR signaling regulated by spitz-to-argos expression ratio is a critical factor for patterning the Drosophila eye - 1 year(s) ago
Author summary Sexual multicellular organisms start life as a single cell–the fertilized egg. One of the fundamental questions of Developmental Biology is to understand how cells proliferate and assume specific identities to faithfully reproduce the organismal tissue patterning. Cells communicate via signaling pathways to achieve complex patterning outcomes. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor…

Mashup Score: 0Gene drive designs for efficient and localisable population suppression using Y-linked editors - 1 year(s) ago
Author summary Some pest populations can be successfully controlled by the inundative release of sterile males, but this approach is not practicable when the target population is large or the species difficult to rear. Computer modelling has previously demonstrated that releasing males with a genomic editor on their Y chromosome that kills or sterilises female descendants could be much more…

In a recent study, René Geci, Katie Willis and Austin Burt show how Y-linked editors can be used in more efficient gene drive designs that may form the basis of a highly flexible set of genetic strategies for pest population control. https://t.co/yuaeNVAoDO

Author summary Quiescence is a very common and important state for the cells of many organisms, where cell functions ‘pause’ but can resume when the right conditions are met. Most microbes exist in a quiescent state and will start growing and dividing again in the presence of nutrients or other cues. In mammals, a quiescent state is used to maintain stem cell populations and cancer cells often…

In a recent article, Thomas Bailey and colleagues outline findings that demonstrate the role of the protein Tup1 in transcriptional reprogramming in response to environmental cues leading to the quiescent state. https://t.co/7BgHW9JC8o

Author summary After mating, Drosophila females undergoes striking behavioral changes, especially in their activity patterns. Despite some of the circuits that deliver mating signals to the female brain are known, the connection with the circadian network has not been explored in detail. Here, we show that mating changes the onset of daily activity, masking a central function of the clock. This…

Mashup Score: 2Evaluating indirect genetic effects of siblings using singletons - 1 year(s) ago
Author summary Genetic data from families can be used to evaluate social effects of parents on their offspring. For example, non-transmitted parental genetic variants have been shown to associate with offspring educational attainment indicative of parental effects. Siblings may also influence one another but available data has limited our understanding of sibling effects. Associations between…
