In addition to Tau transgenic flies, we will perform functional studies based on expression of the human amyloid-Beta peptide (Aß), which is similarly associated with neuronal toxicity in Drosophila.

In Drosophila mauritiana, otd is expressed earlier in eye development than in Drosophila simulans. This is associated with an increase in the ommatidia size of Drosophila mauritiana, meaning the ...

Therefore you get a Drosophila [eye] with the mouse switch. Now, we've also done the reciprocal lately. We've put the fly gene into a frog, which is also a vertebrate, an amphibian. In the frog we ...

This misfit is now to reveal to him how a characteristic such as eye colour is passed on by parents to their progeny ... vinegar or wine fly with the scientific name, Drosophila melanogaster. Anyone ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...
