The polarisation of the anteroposterior axis in Drosophila
Article Abstract:
The polarization of the anteroposterior (AP) axis during Drosophila oogenesis by focusing on the function of the notch signaling pathway and its relationship to the activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor is discussed. Some aspects of Notch activity regulation during oogenesis that appear to depart from the canonical pathway are examined.

The formation of sense organs in Drosophila: a logical approach
Article Abstract:
The use of logical approach is illustrated to describe the genetic circuit that underlies the signaling out of sense organ precursor cells in Drosophila. This approach makes it easier to identify stable states of the system while evaluating the robustness of each state and the direction in which it is likely to evolve.

Searching for sleep mutants of Drosophila melanogaster
Article Abstract:
Fly sleep is homeostatically regulated by stimulants and hypnotics, and is affected by age. A study done reveals that 10 short sleeper lines and 4 lines that show no sleep rebound after sleep deprivation.
