The detrimental effects of ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation on living organisms, with a specific focus on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, were examined. This study investigated the impact of heightened UVC radiation exposure on D. melanogaster by assessing mortality and fertility rates, studying phenotypic mutations, and investigating the associated molecular mechanisms.

Methuselah (Mth) belongs to the GPCR family B, which regulates various biological processes and stress responses. The previous transcriptome data showed jinggangmycin (JGM)-induced Mthl2 expression. However, its detailed functional role remained unclear in brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stål.

Injection of OCs into adult male flies induces a strong transcriptomic response in the host flies featuring in particular genes encoding bona fide G coupled proteins, among which the gene for is prominent. The injection is followed after a 3-d lag period, by the proliferation of the oncogenic cells. We hypothesized that through the product of the host might control, at least in part, this proliferation as a defense reaction.

The end products of catabolism of tryptophan (Trp), an essential amino acid, are known to affect mechanism(s) of aging, a neurodegenerative condition. This review focuses on the possible role of the initial step of Trp catabolism, kynurenine (Kyn) formation from Trp, in aging mechanism(s). Rate-limiting enzymes of Trp conversion into Kyn are tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (TDO) or indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).
