Drosophila Oocytes as a Model for Understanding Meiosis: An Educational Primer to Accompany “Corolla Is a Novel Protein That Contributes to the Architecture of the Synaptonemal Complex of Drosophila”
Ables, Elizabeth Tweedie (2015-01)Achieving a thorough understanding of the events and ramifications of meiosis is a common learning objective for undergraduate introductory biology, genetics, and cell biology courses. Meiosis is also one of the most ... -
A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
Ables, Elizabeth Tweedie; Hwang, Grace H.; Finger, Danielle S.; Hinnant, Taylor D.; Drummond-Barbosa, Daniela (2016-08)Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ... -
Quantitative analysis and comparison of 3D morphology between viable and apoptotic MCF-7 breast cancer cells and characterization of nuclear fragmentation
Wen, Yuhua; Chen, Zhan; Lu, Jianfen; Ables, Elizabeth Tweedie; Scemama, Jean-Luc; Yang, Liv. V.; Lu, Jun Q.; Hu, Xin-Hua (2017-09-08)Morphological changes in apoptotic cells provide essential markers for defining and detection of apoptosis as a fundamental mechanism of cell death. Among these changes, the nuclear fragmentation and condensation have ... -

Spargel/dPGC-1 is essential for oogenesis and nutrient-mediated ovarian growth in Drosophila
Basar, Mohammed Abul; Williamson, Kishana; Roy, Swagota D.; Danielle S., Finger; Ables, Elizabeth Tweedie; Duttaroy, Atanu (2019-06-25)Dietary proteins are crucial for oogenesis. The Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is a major nutrient sensor controlling organismal growth and fertility, but the downstream effectors of TOR signaling remain largely uncharacterized. ...
