Long-term memory (LTM) is stored as functional modifications of relevant neural circuits in
the brain. A large body of evidence indicates that the initial establishment of such …

In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, circadian rhythms of locomotor activity under constant
darkness are controlled by pacemaker neurons. To understand how behavioral rhythmicity …

Cell-coupled field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors have attracted considerable attention
because of their high sensitivity to biomolecules. The use of insect cells (Sf21) as a core …

In addition to its established function in the regulation of circadian rhythms, the Drosophila
gene period (per) also plays an important role in processing long-term memory (LTM). Here, …

Bio-orthogonal ligations that crosslink living cells with a substrate or other cells require high
stability and rapid kinetics to maintain the nature of target cells. In this study, we report water-…

Considerable evidence has demonstrated that transient receptor potential (TRP) channels
play vital roles in sensory neurons, mediating responses to various environmental stimuli. In …

In a variety of animal species, females hold a leading position in evaluating potential mating
partners. The decision of virgin females to accept or reject a courting male is one of the most …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are primary sensory molecules in animals and
are involved in detecting a diverse range of physical and chemical cues in the environments. …

Apterous (Ap), the best studied LIM-homeodomain transcription factor in Drosophila, cooperates
with the cofactor Chip (Chi) to regulate transcription of specific target genes. Although …

A reactive three‐layered dendrimer containing carboxyl groups was synthesized by the coupling
of dicarboxylic acid and a highly reactive, two‐layered glycopeptide dendrimer. Lactose…
