In avian species, a gene induces programmed cell death during development in the area where a phallus would otherwise grow.
During frogs’ hectic mass breedings, females often die. But one species appears to have found a work-around: males harvest and fertilize their partners' eggs after her death.
In the fruit fly, the ability of neural stem cells to make the full repertoire of neurons is regulated by the movement of key genes to the nuclear periphery.
Researchers track DNA modifications and gene expression in stem cells as they differentiate.
Satellites of the Golgi apparatus generate the microtubules used to grow outer dendrite branches in Drosophila neurons.
Microarrays help keep induced pluripotent stem cell lines in check, from start to finish.
Flies turning blue help researchers link the deterioration of the intestinal barrier to age-related death.
Researchers show that random rearrangement of DNA determines which of seven possible mating types the offspring of a single-celled microbe will be.
Drosophila insulin-like peptides (dILPs) regulate part of the signaling pathway that helps keep organs growing in proportion during development.
