Recent improvements in optical imaging, genetically encoded fluorophores and genetic
tools allowing efficient establishment of desired transgenic animal lines have enabled …

Live imaging is a valuable approach for investigating cell biology questions. The Drosophila
larva is particularly suited for in vivo live imaging because the larval body wall and most …

Several well-known morphogenetic gradients and cellular movements occur along the
dorsal/ventral axis of the Drosophila embryo. However, the current techniques used to view …

The Drosophila larva has been used to investigate many processes in cell biology, including
morphogenesis, physiology and responses to drugs and new therapeutic compounds …

Here we describe how to anesthetize and image Drosophila larvae as to follow'the life
history'of identified synapses and synaptic components. This protocol is sensitive, for …

Live cell imaging is an important technique applied to a number of Drosophila tissues used
as models to investigate topics such as axis specification, cell differentiation and …

Imaging of living, intact Drosophila larvae is challenged if normal bodily function must be
observed or when healthy larvae must be recovered for subsequent studies. Here, we …

The Drosophila brain and visual system are widely utilized model systems to study neuronal
development, function and degeneration. Here we show three preparations of the brain and …

Drosophila is an important model system to study a vast range of biological questions.
Various organs and tissues from different developmental stages of the fly such as imaginal …

The pupae of Drosophila melanogaster are immobile for several days during
metamorphosis, during which they develop a new body with a thin transparent adult …
