Genetic conflicts between sex chromosomes during spermatogenesis may drive the rapid evolution, function, and turnover of some sperm nuclear basic proteins in Drosophila species.

In the Drosophila hematopoietic microenvironment, a regulatory network involving Toll/NF-B, EGFR signaling and reactive oxygen species controls blood cell production in response to immune stress.

Reactive oxygen species can activate the ATR/Chk1 pathway in the absence of detectable DNA damage and without a requirement for DNA damage response proteins.

Notch signaling specifies binary neuronal fates through its integration with primary homeodomain activity.

After decades of intensive research, D. melanogaster and its relatives could provide important tools for investigating future biological questions about human health and environmental change, but only if we better understand their natural history.

Spatial factors generate neuroblast-specific open chromatin, thereby biasing the subsequent binding of transcription factors to produce neuroblast-specific neurons.

The insect dopaminergic system serves an important function in the regulation of ontogenesis and early development, contributing to the evolutionary processes that limit the ecological niche of Drosophila sechellia.

The NDNF-like factor Nord is a Hedgehog-induced and extracellular-localized dosage-dependent BMP modulator that regulates Drosophila wing patterning and growth.

Major neuron classes are activated when the fly walks, whether it chooses or is forced to do so.

Phototaxis and courtship behavioral preferences reflect strong correlation with differences in olfactory and visual nervous system investment across five monophyletic Drosophila species, and could help explain their speciation events.
