Scientists Unlock Possible Aging Secret in Genetically Altered Fruit Fly
Brown University researchers have identified a cellular mechanism that could someday help fight the aging process. view more (2009-01-23)
Human ageing gene found in flies
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have found a fast and effective way to investigate important aspects of human ageing. view more (2008-05-12)
Long-term memory controlled by molecular pathway at synapses
Harvard University biologists have identified a molecular pathway active in neurons that interacts with RNA to regulate the formation of long-term memory in fruit flies. view more (2006-01-13)
New research provides new insight into age-related muscle decline
If you think the air outside is polluted, a new research report in the September 2009 issue of the journal Genetics might make you to think twice about the air inside our bodies too. view more (2009-09-23)
Scientists get first look at nanotubes inside living animals
Rice University scientists have captured the first optical images of carbon nanotubes inside a living organism. Using fruit flies, the researchers confirmed that a technique developed at Rice -- near-infrared fluorescent imaging -- was capable of detecting DNA-sized nanotubes inside living fruit flies. view more (2007-09-25)
Fruit fly phlebotomy holds neuroscience promise
Drawing blood from a fruit fly may only be slightly easier than getting it from a proverbial stone or turnip, but success could provide substantial benefits for neuroscientists. view more (2008-03-26)
Sleepy fruit flies provide clues to learning and memory
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered that a brain region previously known for its role in learning and memory also serves as the location of sleep regulation in fruit flies. view more (2006-06-16)
Tuning in on cellular communication in the fruit fly
In their ongoing study of the processes involved in embryonic development in fruit flies, researchers at WPI's Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center at Gateway Park have identified the function of a protein that sticks out of the embryonic cell membrane like an antenna and processes signals needed for the flies' wings to develop properly. view more (2009-02-19)
University of Iowa team discovers first moisture-sensing genes
Researchers in the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine have discovered the first two genes involved in moisture sensing (hygrosensation). view more (2007-11-08)
Fruit flies' response to wind offers new window to neural circuits
Try this at home: If fruit flies are buzzing around your kitchen, switch on your hairdryer and aim it at the flies. A gentle stream of air will stop them in their tracks, putting them in prime position for swatting. view more (2009-03-18)
Tolerance to inhalants may be caused by changes in gene expression
Changes in the expression of genes may be the reason why people who abuse inhalants, such as spray paint or glue, quickly develop a tolerance, biologists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered. view more (2007-10-18)
Researchers find new taste in fruit flies: carbonated water
That fruit fly hovering over your kitchen counter may be attracted to more than the bananas that are going brown; it may also want a sip of your carbonated water. view more (2007-08-30)
Fruit fly avoidance mechanism could lead to new ways to control pain in humans
At first, fruit flies eat like horses. Hatching inside over-ripe fruit where they were laid, they feed wildly in the sugar-rich environment until nature sends them an offer they can't refuse. view more (2008-05-12)
Fruit Fly Aggression Studies Have Relevance to Animal, Human Populations
Even the tiny, mild-mannered fruit fly can be a little mean sometimes - especially when there's a choice bit of rotten fruit to fight over. And, like people, some flies have shorter tempers than others. view more (2006-09-21)
Using insects to test for drug safety
Insects, such as some moths and fruit flies, react to microbial infection in the same way as mammals and so can be used to test the efficiency of new drugs, thereby reducing the need for animal testing. view more (2009-09-08)
Fruit flies aboard space shuttle subjects of UCF, UC Davis study on immunity and space
Fruit flies aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery will help University of Central Florida and University of California, Davis, biologists learn more about how prolonged stays in space could affect human immune systems. view more (2006-06-28)
NYU scientists set stage for understanding how color vision is processed
New York University biologists have mapped the medulla circuitry in fruit flies, setting the stage for subsequent research on how color vision is processed. view more (2008-03-26)
NYU scientists identify how development of different species uses same genes with distinct features
Biologists at New York University have identified how different species use common genes to control their early development and alter how these genes are used to accommodate their own features. view more (2007-04-02)
Fruit fly research may lead to better understanding of human heart disease
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have shown in both fruit flies and humans that genes involved in embryonic heart development are also integral to adult heart function. The study, led by Rolf Bodmer, Ph.D., was published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-12-02)
Researchers identify genetic switch critical for cell survival in hypoxia
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a critical metabolic "switch" in fruit flies that helps oxygen-deprived cells survive. view more (2008-10-17)
