Characterizing novel genes involved in steroidogenesis during the larval development in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadSpring 2022
The primary steroid hormone in Drosophila melanogaster is called ecdysone, which is synthesized in the larval prothoracic gland (PG) during developmental processes. Ecdysone biosynthesis is significantly up-regulated at the beginning of the third larval instar, resulting in a major ecdysone pulse...

Examining whether Multicopper Oxidase 4 (Mco4) acts as a high affinity iron importer in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2024
Iron is a crucial micronutrient for nearly all living organisms, playing a vital role in various biological processes. In humans, it is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which is necessary for oxygen transport in red blood cells. Beyond oxygen transport, iron is a key component of...
