Cell type–specific genomics of Drosophila neurons

GL Henry, FP Davis, S Picard, SR Eddy - Nucleic acids research, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Many tools are available to analyse genomes but are often challenging to use in a cell type–
specific context. We have developed a method similar to the isolation of nuclei tagged in a …

The microRNA bantam functions in epithelial cells to regulate scaling growth of dendrite arbors in drosophila sensory neurons

JZ Parrish, P Xu, CC Kim, LY Jan, YN Jan - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
In addition to establishing dendritic coverage of the receptive field, neurons need to adjust
their dendritic arbors to match changes of the receptive field. Here, we show that dendrite …

Neuronal Hippo signaling: From development to diseases

MR Sahu, AC Mondal - Developmental neurobiology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Hippo signaling pathway is a highly conserved and familiar tissue growth regulator, primarily
dealing with cell survival, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. The Yes‐associated protein …

Cell-intrinsic drivers of dendrite morphogenesis

SV Puram, A Bonni - Development, 2013 - journals.biologists.com
The proper formation and morphogenesis of dendrites is fundamental to the establishment

A tumor suppressor activity of Drosophila Polycomb genes mediated by JAK-STAT signaling

AK Classen, BD Bunker, KF Harvey, T Vaccari… - Nature …, 2009 - nature.com
A prevailing paradigm posits that Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins maintain stem cell identity
by repressing differentiation genes, and abundant evidence points to an oncogenic role for …

Molecules and mechanisms of dendrite development in Drosophila

MM Corty, BJ Matthews, WB Grueber - 2009 - journals.biologists.com
Neurons are one of the most morphologically diverse cell types, in large part owing to their
intricate dendrite branching patterns. Dendrites are structures that are specialized to receive …

The MST/Hippo pathway and cell death: a non-canonical affair

E Fallahi, NA O'Driscoll, D Matallanas - Genes, 2016 - mdpi.com
