Spring 2013
The innate immune system is an evolutionarily conserved first line of defense against invasive microbes. Studies in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, revolutionized the field of immunology and cemented Drosophila as a premier model of innate immune defenses. The Drosophila immune deficiency...

Regulation of digestive tract and progenitor cell homeostasis by intestinal bacteria in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2020
The digestive tract facilitates nutrient uptake in the presence of a heterogenous cohort of symbiotic microbes. These microbes along with their collective genetic material form the intestinal microbiome and contribute to animal phenotypes. Similar to mammals, the microbiome of insects forms a...

The roles of vestigial and scalloped in the embryonic muscle development of Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2010
Vertebrate development requires the activity of multiple members of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (mef2) gene family for muscle cell specification and subsequent differentiation. Additionally, it is thought that several muscle-specific functions of MEF2 family proteins require binding additional...

Characterisation of novel potential phosphorylation sites in the tumour suppressor Merlin in Drosophila
DownloadFall 2014
Neurofibromatosis Type II is an inherited cancer that manifests as various tumours in the nervous system. Mutations and deletions in the tumour suppressor Merlin (moesin, ezrin, radixin-like protein) are linked to the development of the disease. The mechanism by which Merlin suppresses cell...

Drosophila Mage, a component of Smc5/6 DNA response complex, confers resistance to caffeine and genotoxic stress and plays a role in the cell cycle and cell survival
DownloadFall 2014
Over 50 Melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) genes have been identified in the human genome. They share a conserved 200 amino acid MAGE-homology domain (MHD). In yeast, the only MAGE homolog (Nse3) is a component of the Smc5/6 DNA damage response complex. In humans, MAGE proteins influence cell...
