“…Here, we approached this issue through EyeVolve, an open-source PYTHON-based model that recapitulates eye development based on developmental principles originally identified in Drosophila melanogaster. Proof-of-principle experiments showed that this program’s animated timeline successfully simulates early eye tissue expansion, neurogenesis, and pigment cell formation, sequentially transitioning from a disorganized pool of progenitor cells to a highly organized lattice of photoreceptor clusters wrapped with support cells. …”

“…Another interesting question is how the differential apoptotic response to DNA damage is regulated in distinct cell types. The use of Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism has been fundamental to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms triggered by genotoxic stress. …”

“…Crawling insects, when starved, tend to have fewer head wavings and travel in straighter tracks in search of food. We used the Drosophila melanogaster larva to investigate whether this flexibility in the insect’s navigation strategy arises during early olfactory processing and, if so, how. …”

“…We constructed cell-type-specific gene coexpression networks using single-cell transcriptome datasets covering diverse cell types from the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. We detected a set of highly coordinated genes preserved across cell types and present this as the best estimate of a core cellular network. …”

“…Loss of Pro‐Resilin is nonlethal and causes a held‐down wing phenotype (hdw) in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. To test whether this mild phenotype is recurrent in other insect species, we analysed resilin in the spotted‐wing fruit fly Drosophila suzukii. …”

The detectability of prey RNA and DNA in the beetles' regurgitates was assessed with diagnostic Drosophila‐specific RT‐PCR and PCR assays at 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h post‐feeding. …”

“…Using a systematic, mass-spectrometry-first computational approach, we identify 993 unannotated open reading frames with evidence of translation (utORFs) in Drosophila melanogaster. To quantify the similarity of these utORFs across Drosophila and infer phylostratigraphic age, we develop a synteny-based protein similarity approach. …”

“…In mammalian cells and Drosophila melanogaster, cobinamide outperformed cobalamin and two well-known antioxidants, imisopasem manganese and manganese(III)tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin, in reducing oxidative stress as evidenced by: (i) decreased mitochondrial superoxide and return of the mitochondrial membrane potential in rotenone- and antimycin A-exposed H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes; (ii) reduced JNK phosphorylation in hydrogen-peroxide-treated H9c2 cells; (iii) increased growth in paraquat-exposed COS-7 fibroblasts; and (iv) improved survival in paraquat-treated flies. …”

We show that around 30% of lncRNAs contain small ORFs engaged by ribosomes, leading to regulated translation of 100 to 300 micropeptides. …”
