The synthesis of vitellogenin and its uptake by maturing oocytes during egg maturation are
essential for successful female reproduction. These events are regulated by the juvenile …

The steroid hormone ecdysone is the central regulator of insect developmental transitions.
Recent new advances in our understanding of ecdysone action have relied heavily on the …

Reduced reproduction is associated with increased fat storage and prolonged life span in
multiple organisms, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood …

Many cockroach species have adapted to urban environments, and some have been
serious pests of public health in the tropics and subtropics. Here, we present the 3.38-Gb …

Steroid hormones are responsible for the coordinated regulation of many aspects of
biological processes in multicellular organisms. Since the last century, many studies have …

Chromatin remodelers are key players in the regulation of chromatin accessibility and
nucleosome positioning on the eukaryotic DNA, thereby essential for all DNA dependent …

The past decade of research on Drosophila stem cells and niches has provided key insights.
Fly stem cells do not occupy a special" state" based on novel" stem cell genes" but resemble …

In metazoans, tissue maintenance and regeneration depend on adult stem cells, which are
characterized by their ability to self-renew and generate differentiating progeny in response …

The quiescent center (QC) maintains the activity of the surrounding stem cells within the root
stem cell niche, yet specific molecular players sustaining the low rate of QC cell division …

Disruptions in energy homeostasis severely affect reproduction in many organisms and are
linked to several reproductive disorders in humans. As a result, understanding the …
