The Drosophila melanogaster ovary is a powerful yet simple system with only a few cell
types. Cell death in the ovary can be induced in response to multiple developmental and …

The cell biological phenomenon of autophagy (orself-eating') has attracted increasing
attention in recent years. In this review, we first address the cell biological functions of …

Insect Symbiosis summarizes the current knowledge of the relationship between symbiotic
organisms and their insect hosts and provides an unparalleled analysis of cutting-edge …

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved pathway responsible for degradation of
cytoplasmic material via the lysosome. Although autophagy has been reported to contribute …

It is estimated that infertility affects 15–20% of couples and can arise from female or male
reproductive defects. Mouse models have ascribed roles to over 100 genes in the …

Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) is an evolutionarily conserved
mechanism for the degradation of longlived proteins and organelles. During autophagy …

Macroautophagy (autophagy) is a bulk cytoplasmic degradation process that is conserved
from yeast to mammals. Autophagy is an important cellular response to starvation and …

We investigated apoptosis, cell proliferation antigen (PCNA), and heat shock protein
(HSP70) during ovarian follicular atresia in two freshwater teleost species from the São …

Follicular atresia in fish ovary provides an interesting model for studying autophagy and
apoptosis. In order to improve knowledge of the mechanisms regulating ovarian regression …

The transition to social living, combined with the ability of individuals within a society to
communicate and cooperate on common tasks, represents one of the greatest levels of …
