Glia relay differentiation cues to coordinate neuronal development in Drosophila Neuronal birth and specification must be coordinated across the developing brain to generate the neurons that constitute neural circuits. We used the Drosophila visual system to investigate how development is coordinated to establish retinotopy, a feature of all visual systems. Photoreceptors achieve retinotopy by inducing their target field in the optic lobe, the lamina neurons, with a secreted

{beta}2-Adrenoreceptor is a regulator of the {alpha}-synuclein gene driving risk of Parkinsons disease Copy number mutations implicate excess production of α-synuclein as a possibly causative factor in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Using an unbiased screen targeting endogenous gene expression, we discovered that the β2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) is a regulator of the α-synuclein gene ( SNCA ). β2AR ligands modulate SNCA transcription through histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation of its promoter and enhancers.

An algal photoenzyme converts fatty acids to hydrocarbons Although many organisms capture or respond to sunlight, few enzymes are known to be driven by light.

This enzyme belongs to an algae-specific clade of the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase family and catalyz
