Appropriate modulation of escape behaviors in response to potentially damaging stimuli is essential for survival. Although nociceptive circuitry has been studied, it poorly understood how genetic contexts affect relevant responses. Using an unbiased genome-wide association analysis, we identified Ly6/α-neurotoxin family protein, Belly roll (Bero), which negatively regulates Drosophila behavior. We show that Bero expressed abdominal leucokinin-producing neurons (ABLK neurons) and bero...
In vivo, cells collectively migrate in a variety of developmental and pathological contexts. Coordinated epithelial rotation represents unique type collective cell migrations, which has been modeled vitro under spatially confined conditions. Although it is known that the coordinated depends on intercellular interactions, contribution E-cadherin, major cell-cell adhesion molecule, not directly addressed two-dimensional (2D) substrates. Here, using well-controlled fibronectin-coated surfaces,...
ABSTRACT Ex vivo physiological experiments using small insect models such as Drosophila larvae have become increasingly useful to address fundamental biological questions. To perform experiments, various artificial saline solutions been developed, but their osmolality varies significantly from one the next. Such a variation of stems, in part, difficulty determining true value haemolymph larvae. Thus, there is pressing need refine protocols for collecting and measuring larval haemolymph. Two...
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that causes immune suppression and immunodeficiency, leading to opportunistic infections leukemia/lymphoma in cats. Today, variety of domestic mammals are kept houses, it important evaluate the possibility interspecies transmission FeLV. In this study, we assessed infectivity FeLV-B ferrets belong Mustelidae. By pseudotype infection assay, revealed ferret cell line, Mpf cells, resistant infection. The mRNA expression level receptor, Pit-1, was...
