Nckx30c, a Drosophila K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, regulates temperature-sensitive convulsions and age-related neurodegeneration Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is fundamental to neuronal physiology, including in the regulation of membrane excitability and synaptic transmission. Disruptions in the ion transporters regulating Ca2+...

#2 Insect immunity: the guardian of homeostasis and symbiosis (Elena Levashina &
Anna Zaidman-Rémy)

Activation of Toll and IMD pathways in the Drosophila brain following local and systemic bacterial infection Brain infections are often life-threatening and have been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable experimental model to study immun...

Investigating the differential microRNAs expression in young and aged Drosophila melanogaster following Flock House Virus infection MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs ~ 19–22 nt long that post-transcriptionally regulate their mRNA targets. In Drosophila melanogaster, the role of miRNAs has mostly been studied in regar...
