Animal embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo develops from the fertilised egg cell. Important events that occur during embryogenesis are gastrulation, formation of the early nervous ...

During an expedition of the New Britain Trench (8,824 m, 7.02 S, 149.16 E) in the West Pacific Ocean conducted in 2016, our group collected 10 A. gigantea individuals with attached eggs with a full ...

Detecting danger is key to the survival and success of all species. Animal nervous and immune systems cooperate to optimize danger detection. Preceding studies have highlighted the benefits of ...

Initially identified in Drosophila melanogaster, the piRNA pathway regulate germline stem cell self-renewal and differentiation via cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms. Precisely, in ...

However, unlike for apical folding, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate epithelial folding towards the basal side. Here, using the Drosophila wing imaginal disc and combining genetic ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...
