We focus here on studies from the powerful Drosophila forward genetic model, with reference to complementary findings from mouse work. We present both neuron-to-glia and glia-to-glia intercellular ...

Morgan's experiments are not only fundamental to our knowledge of heredity; they have also made an animal respectable for science, which previously only a few specialists had worked with: the fruit, ...

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 ...
