Suppressing cancer with a master control gene
Starting with the tiny fruit fly and then moving into mice and humans, researchers at VIB and K. U. Leuven show that expression of the same gene suppresses cancer in all three organisms. view more (2009-02-23)
Rutgers-Camden Scholar Identifies Genetic Patterning in Fruit Fly Development
No matter the species, from flies to humans, we all start the same: a single-cell fertilized egg that embarks on an incredible journey. The specifics of this journey are being uncovered at Rutgers University-Camden, where a biologist is researching how from one cell a jumble of many are able to organize and communicate, allowing life to spring... view more...

From brains to behavior: Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features methods for neuroscience research
Research in the field of neuroscience is constantly expanding to provide knowledge about biological mechanisms that underlie our ability to experience and interact with the world around us. view more (2007-10-02)
Computers explain why pears may become brown during commercial storage
Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. view more (2008-03-10)
Researchers take first look at the genetic dynamics of inbreeding depression
Researchers have taken a first look at the broad genetic changes that accompany reproductive declines in inbred populations. view more (2009-03-13)

Recent research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) reveals new insights into how cells achieve equality between the sexes. view more (2006-03-17)
Roadkill study could speed detection of kidney cancer
Large-scale data mining of gene networks in fruit flies has led researchers to a sensitive and specific diagnostic biomarker for human renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer. view more (2009-01-27)
A resetting signal keeps circadian rhythm on track in Drosophila fruit flies
A Brandeis University study published this week in Nature shows for the first time that a molecular signal maintains coherence among brain clock cells that regulate daily activity of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). view more (2005-11-10)
Peaches Need Mineral Supplements Too
Peaches and nectarines sprayed with a calcium, magnesium and titanium-containing formulation increases fruit firmness and lifespan, according to new research published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Spanish researchers found that applying these natural compounds to peach and nectarine trees pre-harvest gives dramatic... view more... (2004-06-16)
Animal model of Parkinson's disease reveals striking sensitivity to common environmental toxins
In findings that support a relationship between agricultural chemicals and Parkinson's disease, two groups of researchers have found new evidence that loss of DJ-1, a gene known to be linked to inherited Parkinson's disease, leads to striking sensitivity to the herbicide paraquat and the insecticide rotenone. view more (2005-09-07)
Scientists compare 12 fruit fly genomes
An international research consortium of scientists, supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced publications comparing the genome sequences of 12 closely related fruit fly species, 10 of which were sequenced for the first time. view more (2007-11-08)
Scripps research scientists observe human neurodegenerative disorder in fruit flies
A team of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute, Katholeike Universiteit Leuven, and the University of Antwerp, Belgium, among other institutions, has created a genetically modified fruit fly that mimics key features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a common neurodegenerative disorder that strikes about one out of every 2,500 people in the... view more...

It's a unisex brain with specific signals that trigger 'male' behavior
Research by Yale scientists shows that males and females have essentially unisex brains - at least in flies - according to a recent report in Cell designed to identify factors that are responsible for sex differences in behavior. view more (2008-05-01)

New genetic analysis forces re-draw of insect family tree
The family tree covering almost half the animal species on the planet has been re-drawn following a genetic analysis which has revealed new relationships between four major groups of insects. view more (2006-10-27)
Scientists trace molecular origin of proportional development
When it comes to embryo formation in the lowly fruit fly, a little molecular messiness actually leads to enhanced developmental precision, according to a study in the Oct. 14 Developmental Cell from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. view more (2008-10-14)

Life in the fruit bowl is no longer the pits, thanks to a University of Alberta researcher. view more (2009-08-14)
Scientists link another gene to degenerative blindness
Researchers have labored for decades to understand blindness-inducing neurodegenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). view more (2006-01-19)
Taking the temperature of the no-fly zone
Flies, unlike humans, can't manipulate the temperature of their surroundings so they need to pick the best spot for flourishing. New Brandeis University research in this week's Nature reveals that they have internal thermosensors to help them. view more (2008-06-12)
Chemistry & Industry Magazine - cover date 21 July 2003
NEWS Fruit lasts 12 times longer with new natural packaging A sugary coating that can extend the shelf life of peeled fruit and vegetables by as much as 12 weeks has been developed. The coating is a mixture of sugary, acidic and antioxidant compounds dissolved in water. The extension of shelf life depends on several factors, including the presence... view more... (2003-07-17)
