Taste sensilla of flies: function, central neuronal projections, and development

Microscopy Research and Technique
G S Pollack, R Balakrishnan

Abstract

Taste sensilla of flies are composed of only a few cells, all of which have different functions. Depending on the species and on the sensillum type, there are from 2-5 neurons, each of which has its own stimulus specificity, and each of which makes a different contribution to the fly's behavior. In addition, taste sensilla include several nonneuronal cells that are important both for the development of the sensillum and for its functioning. The component cells of a sensillum derive from a single epidermal precursor according to a stereotyped sequence of mitoses. This review focuses on the different phenotypes of the component cells of taste sensilla, particularly the stimulus sensitivity and central neuronal anatomy of the receptor neurons, and on the development of this multicellular organ from a single precursor cell.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
