In the syncytial blastoderm of Drosophila, the absence of cell membranes between nuclei allows the diffusion of gap gene products, leading to protein domains that, in general, are slightly larger ...

The mature eggs of Drosophila melanogaster contains information that determines the major axis of the embryo. This information is built into the egg during oogenesis and functions in the early embryo ...

During the maternal-to-zygotic transition in Drosophila, the pioneer transcription factors Zelda and GAF jointly regulate the transcriptional activation of zygotic genes in the early embryo ...

Watching and measuring what happens in tissues inside the human embryo is currently not possible, and it's difficult to do in mammalian models. Because humans and the fruit fly Drosophila share so ...

Details of this work appeared August 31 in the journal Science, in an article entitled “The Drosophila Embryo at Single-Cell Transcriptome Resolution.” “We produce a virtual embryo with ...

They all look alike under the microscope. However, each cell of a Drosophila melanogaster embryo already knows by then whether it is destined to become a neuron or a muscle cell—or part of the ...

Diffusion plays unusual signaling role in drosophila embryos, researchers find. ScienceDaily . Retrieved May 20, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2017 / 11 / 171116132719.htm ...

This embryo then undergoes three distinct larval stages, eventually maturing into an adult Drosophila. Development of an adult fly only takes 10 days from fertilization. The female fly can produce ...

This video from Carl Zeiss shows a 3D representation of reconstructed Multiview recordings of a Drosophila embryo expressing fluorescently tagged BAC clone (GFP). The gene is cystein string protein, ...

Recent research from the Developmental and Regulatory Genomics group showed that the 3D genome structure of the Drosophila embryo was established at the onset of zygotic genome activation, an early ...
