This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...

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 ...

In them, the larvae develop into third-stage larvae (L3). Rats get infected with these L3 larvae when they eat an infected slug or snail. From the rat's gastrointestinal tract, the larvae tunnel ...

The possibility that ageing may be a consequence of the failure of cells to maintain accurate protein synthesis has prompted experiments in which the larvae of Drosophila melanogaster are treated ...

Under homeostatic conditions, haematopoiesis in Drosophila larvae occurs in the lymph gland and sessile haemocyte clusters to produce two functionally and morphologically different cells: ...

Depletion of CI in adulthood only is not sufficient to reduce lifespan in Drosophila. Short-lived flies, where CI dysfunction has been induced early in development, have tissue-specific transcriptomic ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Several studies in the literature have addressed the possible ...

“S” indicates sumoylation. “A” indicates acetylation. The “heat shock response,” defined as the rapid induction of heat shock proteins, was initially described in Drosophila 60 years ago (Ritossa 1962 ...
