Larvae of a Drosophila melanogaster isogenic strain (w1118 iso 31) (18) were transferred to standard yeast/cornmeal/agar food within 1 h of hatching and raised at 25 °C for 68 h until mid-L3 (larval ...

Sensation of electric fields in the Drosophila melanogaster larva. Current Biology, 2025; DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2025.03.014 ...

In the lab, mature S. perlmani larvae exited their hosts, explored for a few hours and then buried themselves in whatever substrate the researchers provided.

Results Acetylation Modification of dFASN, but Not Protein Expression, Is Positively Correlated with DNL during Drosophila Larval Development. Drosophila development takes around 10 d, with the ...

L3 wandering larvae were bled into Schneider's insect medium (Sigma‐Aldrich) on a previously chilled glass slide. After larva bleeding, macrophages and apoptotic cells (CellTracker™ Red CMTPX Dye) ...

Before preparation, larval stages were determined by means of spiracle morphology. Preparation of 1st instar larvae (L1) was done 22 h after larval hatching (ALH), 2nd instar larvae (L2) were 36 h ALH ...

Interestingly, larvae with inhibited Crz neuronal activity grew faster during the L3 stage, which is the final instar larval stage in Drosophila.

Deactivating Crz neurons resulted in increased pupal body size, but did not affect the timing in the larva-to-pupa transition. Interestingly, larvae with inhibited Crz neuronal activity grew faster ...
