[HTML][HTML] Disruption of a behavioral sequence by targeted death of peptidergic neurons in Drosophila
The neuropeptide eclosion hormone (EH) is a key regulator of insect ecdysis. We tested the
role of the two EH-producing neurons in Drosophila by using an EH cell-specific enhancer to …

Novel “superspreader” bacteriophages promote horizontal gene transfer by transformation
Bacteriophages infect an estimated 10 23 to 10 25 bacterial cells each second, many of
which carry physiologically relevant plasmids (eg, those encoding antibiotic resistance). …

Aphid amino acid transporter regulates glutamine supply to intracellular bacterial symbionts
Endosymbiotic associations have played a major role in evolution. However, the molecular
basis for the biochemical interdependence of these associations remains poorly understood. …

Mutations in the Drosophila glycoprotein hormone receptor, rickets, eliminate neuropeptide-induced tanning and selectively block a stereotyped behavioral program
Adult insects achieve their final form shortly after adult eclosion by the combined effects of
specialized behaviors that generate increased blood pressure, which causes cuticular …

Fluorescence switching for temperature sensing in water
A water-soluble thermochromic molecular switch with spectrally resolved fluorescence in its
two interconvertible states can be assembled in three synthetic steps by integrating a …

The KELT follow-up network and transit false-positive catalog: pre-vetted false positives for TESS
The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) project has been conducting a photometric
survey of transiting planets orbiting bright stars for over 10 years. The KELT images have a …

Two knockdown models of the autism genes SYNGAP1 and SHANK3 in zebrafish produce similar behavioral phenotypes associated with embryonic disruptions of …
Despite significant progress in the genetics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), how genetic
mutations translate to the behavioral changes characteristic of ASD remains largely unknown…

Photoactivatable BODIPYs designed to monitor the dynamics of supramolecular nanocarriers
Self-assembling nanoparticles of amphiphilic polymers can transport hydrophobic molecules
across hydrophilic media and, as a result, can be valuable delivery vehicles for a diversity …

Live imaging of multicolor-labeled cells in Drosophila
We describe LOLLIbow, a Brainbow-based live imaging system with applications in
developmental biology and neurobiology. The development of an animal, including the …

Daytime colour preference in Drosophila depends on the circadian clock and TRP channels
Light discrimination according to colour can confer survival advantages by guiding animals
towards food and shelter and away from potentially harmful situations 1 , 2 . Such colour-…
