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...

Investigating the function of novel players of iron homeostasis, heme metabolism and steroid hormone biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2021
Iron is a transition metal that is essential for all organisms in trace amounts. It participates in biological reactions in the form of different enzymatic cofactors such as a single atom to an iron-sulfur cluster and heme. Therefore, iron functions in numerous cellular processes such as oxygen...
