A quick and laidback way to detect the internal structure of the Drosophila eye: An alternative to cryosectioning.

Immunofluorescence techniques have been a great tool to chase the structure, localization, and function of many proteins within a cell. Drosophila eye is widely used as a model to answer various questions. However, the complex sample preparation and visualization methods restrict its use only with an expert's hand.

Enhanced mechanical properties of hBN-ZrO composites and their biological activities on : synthesis and characterization.

In this study, six compositions in the system [(h-BN)-(100 - )ZrO] (10 ≤ ≤ 90) were synthesized by a bottom up approach, , the solid-state reaction technique. XRD results showed the formation of a novel and main phase of zirconium oxynitrate ZrO(NO) and SEM exhibited mixed morphology of layered and stacked h-BN nanosheets with ZrO grains. The composite sample 10 wt% h-BN + 90 wt% ZrO (10B90Z) showed outstanding mechanical properties for different parameters, , density (3.

An infection of Enterobacter ludwigii affects development and causes age-dependent neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster.

The effects of teeth-blackening bacteria Enterobacter ludwigii on the physiological system were investigated using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. The bacteria were mixed with the fly food, and its effect was checked on the growth, development and behaviour of Drosophila. Microbes generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the haemolymph of the larvae once it enters into the body.

Wood-Based Cellulose Nanofibrils: Haemocompatibility and Impact on the Development and Behaviour of .

Wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) offer an excellent scaffold for drug-delivery formulation development. However, toxicity and haemocompatibility of the drug carrier is always an important issue. In this study, toxicity-related issues of CNF were addressed.

Oral administration of graphene oxide nano-sheets induces oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and behavioral teratogenicity in Drosophila melanogaster.

The current study checks the effect of various concentrations of dietary graphene oxide (GO) nano-sheets on the development of Drosophila melanogaster. GO was synthesized and characterized by XRD, FTIR, FESEM, and TEM analytical techniques. Various concentrations of GO were mixed with the fly food and flies were transferred to the vial.

The contribution of nanostructures towards the wing patterning of yellow Catopsilia pomona. How it differs from the lime?

Polyphenism, an adaptation to survive throughout the year, is shown by many butterflies including Catopsilia pomona. With the variation of seasons, different morphs were found. Among all the morphs, lime exists throughout the year whereas the yellow one is available only in the winter season.
