Excited to share our tour de force in identifying neurons in the brain as targets of a seminal peptide thanks to Karthik Nallasivan and @deepanshund.bsky.social @mcf-uom.bsky.social @fbmh-uom.bsky.social published in @elife.bsky.social elifesciences.org/articles/98283

Sex peptide targets distinct higher order processing neurons in the brain to induce the female post-mating response
Sex peptide response-inducing neurons (SPRINz) in the central brain can induce female post-mating responses through sex peptide received by mating.

Excited to share our first publication of the year @mcf-uom.bsky.social . Here is a very detailed protocol how to do band-shift assays thanks to @davidmcquarrie.bsky.social and for the invitation @kifla.bsky.social bio-protocol.org/en/bpdetail?...

Glad to see @davidmcquarrie.bsky.social paper #genetics showing that core promoters of Drosophila "prostata" genes evolve fast which can leading to allelic dominance.

Thrilled to share a new preprint from the lab! We investigated how m6A regulates the transcriptome in chemoresistant glioblastoma through unexpected mechanisms, and the potential therapeutic applications of this discovery. Check out the preprint here ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

N6-methyladenosine promotes temozolomide resistance through non-canonical regulation of mRNA stability in glioblastoma cells
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a critical regulator of mRNA processing and function, impacting nearly every step of the mRNA lifecycle. Changes in m6A status have been implicated in many different types ...

Assessing species-specific neonicotinoid toxicity using cross-species chimeric nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in a Drosophila model
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels and the main mediators of synaptic neurotransmission in the insect brain. In insects, nAChRs are pivotal for sensory processing...
