Work on genetic model systems such as Drosophila and mouse has shown that the fundamental
mechanisms of myogenesis are remarkably similar in vertebrates and invertebrates. …

Conserved from yeast to humans, the Paf1 complex participates in a number of diverse
processes including transcriptional initiation and polyadenylation. This complex typically …

Eye formation is regulated by a complex network of eye field transcription factors (EFTFs),
including LIM-homeodomain gene LHX2. We disrupted LHX2 function at different stages …

Indirect flight muscles (IFMs) in adult Drosophila provide the key power stroke for wing
beating. They also serve as a valuable model for studying muscle development. An age-…

Anatomical profiles of insects inform vector biology, comparative development and
evolutionary studies with applications in forensics, agriculture and disease control. This study …

Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) is a gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type II (SCA2), amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinsonism. The encoded protein is a therapeutic target for …

Alary muscle syncytia in Drosophila larvae undergo a remarkable process of dedifferentiation
into single cells that then fuse to become ventral longitudinal muscle in the adult. In this …

Twenty-six participants representing patients, funding agencies and basic and clinical
scientists involved in research into skeletal muscle stem cells and muscular dystrophies from …

Muscle heterogeneity has been explored in terms of fiber-type distribution, structural
organisation, and differences at their junctions with neurons and tendons. We amplify on such …

Phosphates are very important basic materials in agricultural and other industrial applications.
Phosphorus is often present in low concentrations in wastewater, almost solely in the form …
