Integrin linked kinase (ILK) is a serine/threonine protein kinase implicated in the phosphatidylinositol 3’kinase (PI3’K) pathway. Integrin linked kinase has been investigated in different organisms such as mammalian systems (human, mice, rat), insects (Drosophila) and nematodes (Cenorhabditis elegans), however to date little data regarding ILK research on amphibians has been reported. In...

Impact of Phyllanthus amarus extract on antioxidant enzymes in Drosophila melanogaster N. Manasa, J. S. Ashadevi

Since its inception in 1929, Cytologia has made several significant contributions to the international community, including supporting various discoveries Drosophila. These experiments were not only successful D. melanogaster but also other species, such as virilis and ananassae. This is because two founding Fly Rooms Japan, one at Kyoto University Tokyo Metropolitan University, included these ...

Transdifferentiation is a conversion of an already differentiated cell type into another without the involvement stem cells. This transition well described in case vertebrate immune cells, as Drosophila melanogaster, which therefore serves suitable model to study process detail. In larva, latest single-cell sequencing methods enabled clusterization phagocytic blood plasmatocytes, are capable tr...

Asparagus racemosus extract increases the life span in Drosophila melanogaster K. V. Kiran Kumar, S. Prasanna, J. Ashadevi

This article provides a background and descriptive analysis of insect memory the coding olfactory sensation in Drosophila, presenting graphs summary statistics from large dataset neurons synapses that was recently made publicly available also discussing findings existing empirical literature. Some general principles Drosophila olfaction are discussed as they apply to design analogous systems ar...


 The recombinant antibodies RB690, RB691, RB692 and RB693 detect by ELISA a synthetic peptide from the Drosophila melanogaster Nop56 protein.

Selective autophagy is a catabolic route which turns over specific cellular material for degradation by lysosomes, and whose role in the regulation of innate immunity largely unexplored. Here, we show that apical kinase Drosophila immune deficiency (Imd) pathway Tak1, as well its co-activator Tab2, are both novel selective substrates interact with protein Atg8a. We also Atg8a-interacting Sh3px1...

Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931, Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a global pest of soft‐skinned fruits such as blueberries, cherries and raspberries. Also known spotted‐wing drosophila, D. native to Asia but now widely distributed in the Americas Europe, presents serious challenge for growers. Genetic control strategies offer an environmentally friendly approach . RESULTS In t...

The recombinant antibodies RB712 and RB713 detect by ELISA the Drosophila melanogaster Spargel protein (or GCH) fused to a GST protein.
