Proliferation and apoptosis must be precisely regulated to form organs with appropriate cell numbers and to avoid tumour growth 1,2. Here we show that Hippo (Hpo), the Drosophila homologue of the mammalian Ste20-like kinases 3, ...

eyeless (ey) is a key regulator of the eye development pathway in Drosophila. Ectopic expression of ey can induce the expression of several eye-specification genes (eya, so,and dac) and induce eye formation in multiple locations ...

Stem cells have an enormous capacity of self-renewal, as well as the ability to differentiate into specialized cell types. Proper control of these two properties of stem cells is crucial for animal development, growth control, ...

Undoubtedly, Drosophila melanogaster, fruit fly, has proved to be one of the most popular invertebrate model organisms, and the work horse for modern day biologists. Drosophila, a highly versatile model with a genetic legacy of ...

The meeting was sponsored by the Genetics Society of America (GSA) and was organized by Celeste Berg (University of Washington), Steve Crews (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), Erika Matunis (Johns Hopkins University), and Kevin ...

The meeting was sponsored by the Genetics Society of America (GSA) and was organized by Daniel Barbash (Cornell University, New York), Giovanni Bosco (University of Arizona), and Leslie Griffith (Brandeis University, Massachusetts). This annual meeting ...

The meeting provides fruit fly researchers an opportunity for interaction and exchange of ideas pertaining to their research. The 49th Annual Drosophila Research Conference took place in San Diego, California, one of the best tourist ...

The Drosophila Research Conference is a yearly meeting organized by the Genetics Society of America (GSA) for the researchers who use the fruit fly model organism to study different facets of biomedical science. This meeting ...
