The putative cannabinoid receptor GPR55 defines a novel autocrine loop in cancer cell proliferation
Recently, the orphan receptor G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) has been proposed as a potential cannabinoid receptor, although controversy remains on its physiological roles. Current evidence suggests a r...

Lack of effect of the ghrelin gene-derived peptide obestatin on cardiomyocyte viability and metabolism
Obestatin is a recently discovered peptide encoded by the ghrelin gene that opposes ghrelin effects on food intake and gastrointestinal function. The biological activity of obestatin depends on amidation at it...

Genetic basis for female receptivity in Drosophila melanogaster: a diallel study
Receptivity of sexually mature, virgin females, measured as the time to copulation, has been investigated. Two independent 5 × 5 diallel crosses were carried out, each one with a different male tester genotype...

Environmental sensitivity and heterosis for egg laying in Drosophila melanogaster
Genotype × temperature interactions for egg laying were studied in Drosophila melanogaster using two sets of half diallel crosses: one between inbred lines of the same geographic origin, and the other between est...
