Shields and Sang M3 insect medium can support the rapid growth of both primary and established cultures of Drosophila melanogaster cells. Insect tissue culture media have been formulated to mimic the main properties of the hemolymph of specific insects.
Application
Developed for the culture of Drosophila cell lines.
Shields and Sang M3 Insect Medium has been used:
for the dissection of Drosophila larvae to study the changes in the translational activity of larval wing imaginal disc cells[1]
to incubate Drosophila bodies for surface sensing of translation (SUnSET) assay[2]
to culture Drosophila cells for transfection studies[3]
Cilia are cellular antennae that are essential for human development and physiology. A large number of genetic disorders linked to cilium dysfunction are associated with proteins that localize to the ciliary transition zone (TZ), a structure at the base of
The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway controls embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. In Drosophila melanogaster, the pathway is primed by secretion of a dually lipid-modified morphogen, Hh, a process dependent on a membrane-integral protein Dispatched. Although Dispatched

Spermatogenesis is accompanied by a remarkable reorganization of the chromatin in post-meiotic stages, characterized by a near genome-wide displacement of histones by protamines and a transient expression of transition proteins. In Drosophila, the transition-protein-like protein Tpl94D contains an HMG-box domain
Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is an entomophagous parasitoid known to be an effective parasitoid of several aphid species of economic importance. A reduction of its production cost during mass rearing for inundative release is needed to improve its use in
Cells are highly asymmetrical, a feature that relies on the sorting of molecular constituents, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, to distinct subcellular locales. The localization of RNA molecules is an important layer of gene regulation required to modulate localized
