Sentence examples for extends fly from inspiring English sources

Drosophila priming with heat-killed or low in virulence P. aeruginosa extends fly survival during a secondary lethal infection with a virulent strain of the same species.

Similarly, expression of a dominant-negative form of the tumour suppressor Dmp53 in these cells both extends lifespan and reduces transcript level of dilp2 (Bauer et al., 2007), which when deleted extends fly lifespan (Gronke et al., 2010).

Dietary restriction (DR) in Drosophila, which extends fly lifespan, results in reduced levels of dilp5 transcript in the MNC (Min et al., 2008), although deletion of the dilp5 gene alone does not alter the response to DR, possibly because of increased compensatory expression of dilps 3 (Gronke et al., 2010).

Flying buttress, masonry structure typically consisting of an inclined bar carried on a half arch that extends ("flies") from the upper part of a wall to a pier some distance away and carries the thrust of a roof or vault.

Hence, trametinib acts specifically between Ras and Pnt to extend fly lifespan.

We are still faced, therefore, with our basic problem: how does reduced nutrient intake modulate systems that extend fly longevity?

Research on Drosophila has demonstrated that different genetic manipulations and environmental interventions can extend fly lifespan [ 18].

Thus, rapamycin consistently extended fly life span in diverse genetic and cytoplasmic backgrounds and in both sexes.

Blocking of sensation of carbon dioxide is shown to extend fly lifespan and to mediate the lifespan-shortening effect of sensory exposure to fermenting yeast.

Interventions that extend fly life span are often associated with resistance to various stresses (Broughton et al., 2005; Clancy et al., 2001).

In support of this idea, we recently reported that overexpression of the fly PGC-1 homolog, dPGC-1, in ISC lineages is sufficient to preserve intestinal homeostasis during aging and extend fly lifespan [ 11].
