Date Published: March 11, 2008 Publisher: Public Library of Science Author(s): Irene Miguel-Aliaga, Stefan Thor, Alex P Gould, Roel Nusse Abstract: Insulin and related peptides play important and conserved functions in growth and metabolism. Although Drosophila has proved useful for the genetic analysis of insulin functions, little is known about the transcription factors and cell … Continue reading Research Article: Postmitotic Specification of Drosophila Insulinergic Neurons from Pioneer Neurons

Mott. http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0046773 Abstract Mutations of the neurofibromin 1 gene cause neurofibromatosis type 1, a disease in which learning and behavioral abnormalities are common. The disease is completely penetrant but shows variable phenotypic expression in patients. The repertoire of regulatory … Continue reading Research Article: Neurofibromin 1 Is a miRNA Target in Neurons
