Sentences with phrase «midgut cells»

Finally, stomodeal - specific RNAi - mediated silencing of Twist during compression impairs the differentiation of midgut cells, resulting in larval lethality.

Not exact matches

In the fruit fly, the gene is active in fat bodies — which function as the liver in insects — as well as the midgut, antennae, and cells called oenocytes, which appear to store glycogen.

Nonautonomous regulation of Drosophila midgut stem cell proliferation by the insulin - signaling pathway.

These experiments show that mechanically induced Twist upregulation in stomodeal cells is necessary for subsequent midgut differentiation.

Here, Marianes and Spradling have investigated a type of adult stem cell, known as intestinal stem cells, that resides in the midgut of fruit flies.

For example, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) of the adult Drosophila midgut (Ohlstein and Spradling, 2006; Micchelli and Perrimon, 2006) generate the two major differentiated cell types of the gut, enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells, throughout life.
