Trans-synaptic transmission of vesicular Wnt signals through Evi/Wntless.

14 Oct 2009 Wnts play pivotal roles during development and in the mature nervous system. However, the mechanism by which Wnts traffic between cells has remained elusive. Here we demonstrate a mechanism of Wnt transmission through release of exosome-like ... Read more...

Ferrying wingless across the synaptic cleft.

14 Oct 2009 Secreted Wnt morphogens mediate cell-cell communication, but the mechanism of Wnt transfer between cells is unknown. Korkut et al. (2009) report that the transmembrane protein Evi is a versatile carrier that guides Wingless to presynaptic terminals ... Read more...

The effect of sex peptide and calorie intake on fecundity in female Drosophila melanogaster.

12 Oct 2009 The accessory gland proteins (Acps) of the male Drosophila cause changes in the behavior and physiology of female flies. Sex peptide (SP) is one of the Acps that initiates many changes, including an increase in egg production. The data presented ... Read more...
