Sorrentino R
Fly (Austin) . 2010 Sep; 4(4):327-32. PMID: 20855971
While many quantifiable biological phenomena can be described by making use of an assumption of normality in the distribution of individual values, many biological phenomena are not accurately described by...

Tokusumi T, Sorrentino R, Russell M, Ferrarese R, Govind S, Schulz R
PLoS One . 2009 Jul; 4(7):e6429. PMID: 19641625
Drosophila has emerged as an excellent model system in which to study cellular and genetic aspects of hematopoiesis. Under normal developmental conditions and in wild-type genetic backgrounds, Drosophila possesses two...

Sorrentino R, Tokusumi T, Schulz R
Dev Biol . 2007 Oct; 311(2):311-23. PMID: 17936744
Drosophila has emerged as an important model system to discover and analyze genes controlling hematopoiesis. One regulatory network known to control hemocyte differentiation is the Janus kinase (JAK)/Signal Transducer and...

Chiu H, Ring B, Sorrentino R, Kalamarz M, Garza D, Govind S
Dev Biol . 2005 Oct; 288(1):60-72. PMID: 16248995
Highly conserved during evolution, the enzyme Ubc9 activates the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) prior to its covalent ligation to target proteins. We have used mutations in the Drosophila Ubc9 (dUbc9)...

Sorrentino R, Gajewski K, Schulz R
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2005 Jan; 16(1):107-16. PMID: 15659345
GATA transcription factors comprise an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins that function in the specification and differentiation of various cell types during animal development. In this review, we examine current...

Sorrentino R, Melk J, Govind S
Genetics . 2004 Apr; 166(3):1343-56. PMID: 15082553
Drosophila larvae defend themselves against parasitoid wasps by completely surrounding the egg with layers of specialized hemocytes called lamellocytes. Similar capsules of lamellocytes, called melanotic capsules, are also formed around...

Sorrentino R, Small C, Govind S
Biotechniques . 2002 Apr; 32(4):815-6, 818, 820, 822-3. PMID: 11962604
We describe a simple, inexpensive, and robust protocol for the quantification of phenol oxidase activity in insect hemolymph. Discrete volumes of hemolymph from Drosophila melanogaster larvae are applied to pieces...

Sorrentino R, Carton Y, Govind S
Dev Biol . 2002 Feb; 243(1):65-80. PMID: 11846478
The mechanisms by which an organism becomes immune competent during its development are largely unknown. When infected by eggs of parasitic wasps, Drosophila larvae mount a complex cellular immune reaction...
