Fruit fly study reveals a gene’s hidden ability to keep regrowth on the right track

A recent study has identified a gene, Zelda, that plays a crucial role in regulating the end of regrowth in fruit fly larvae. The researchers found that Zelda helps control the activity of genes involved in tissue development, revealing a new understanding of the regenerative process.

Fruit fly wing research offers window into birth defects

Researchers used supercomputers to study how fruit fly embryo cells develop into wings, offering a window into human development and possible treatments for birth defects. The team found that actomyosin drives much of the development process, particularly in the lower wing disc flattening.

The making of soldier ants

Scientists at McGill University found that a rudimentary 'organ' in ants regulates the balance between soldiers and workers, allowing colonies to maintain a constant ratio. By controlling the growth of this organ, ants can rapidly produce more soldiers when needed.

Going global

A genome-wide analysis of genes that drive cell division in a multicellular organism has been conducted, revealing over 300 genes differentially expressed during the G1 and G2 phases. The study provides a searchable resource for scientists and citizens to explore gene expression in wing discs and cultured cells.
