Characterizing new players in regulating the production of the steroid hormone ecdysone during larval development of Drosophila melanogaster.
DownloadFall 2017
The major steroid hormone in Drosophila is Ecdysone. This hormone triggers developmental transitions such as the molts and the onset of metamorphosis. During the second half of the last (i.e. 3rd) instar, ecdysone biosynthesis is upregulated in the prothoracic gland (PG). This results in a major...

DHR51 as a coordinator of heme biosynthesis and steroid hormone production to time metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2019
Development from a juvenile to an adult animal is driven by pulses of steroid hormones released at precise developmental times. Inputs from the environment, timing cues, and nutritional factors are all coordinated to produce a steroid hormone pulse. Insects and in particular, the fruit fly...
