Drosophila blood cells, called hemocytes, are classified into plasmatocytes, crystal cells, and
lamellocytes based on the expression of a few marker genes and cell morphologies, which …

The Drosophila lymph gland, the larval hematopoietic organ comprised of prohemocytes and
mature hemocytes, has been a valuable model for understanding mechanisms underlying …

Drosophila hemocytes, like those of mammals, are given rise from two distinctive phases
during both the embryonic and larval hematopoiesis. Embryonically derived hemocytes, mostly …

Drosophila hemocytes serve as the primary defense system against harmful threats, allowing
the animals to thrive. Hemocytes are often compared to vertebrate innate immune system …

Drosophila hemocytes are akin to mammalian myeloid blood cells that function in stress and
innate immune-related responses. A multi-potent progenitor population responds to local …

Iron is an essential divalent ion for aerobic life. Life has evolved to maintain iron homeostasis
for normal cellular and physiological functions and therefore imbalances in iron levels …

Drosophila melanogaster lymph gland, the primary site of hematopoiesis, contains myeloid-like
progenitor cells that differentiate into functional hemocytes in the circulation of pupae …

The nuclear factor binding the κ light chain in B-cells (NFκB) is involved in a wide range of
cellular processes including development, growth, innate immunity, and sleep. However, …

The Drosophila lymph gland houses blood progenitors that give rise to myeloid-like blood
cells. Initially, blood progenitors proliferate, but later become quiescent to maintain …

Drosophila hemocytes serve as the primary defense system required for the animals to thrive
and overcome harmful threats. These cells are often compared to cells of the vertebrate …
