Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics of programmed cell death in C. elegans: past, present and future

TL;DR: The conservation of the central cell-death pathway suggests that additional genetic analyses of programmed cell death in C. elegans will help answer questions not only for this nematode but also for other organisms, including ourselves.
Journal ArticleDOI

The zinc-finger protein Zelda is a key activator of the early zygotic genome in Drosophila.

TL;DR: The zinc-finger protein Zelda (Zld; Zinc-finger early Drosophila activator) binds specifically to these sites and is capable of activating transcription in transient transfection assays, suggesting that Zld may also regulate maternal RNA degradation during the maternal-to-zygotic transition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Branching morphogenesis of the Drosophila tracheal system.

TL;DR: Mapping of the cell movements and shape changes during the sprouting process has revealed that distinct mechanisms of epithelial migration and tube formation are used at each stage of branching, identifying a general program in which a fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and fibro Blast growth factor receptor (FGFR) are used repeatedly to control branch budding and outgrowth.
