Fruit Fly Study Digs Deeper Into Poorly Understood Details Of Forming Embryos - QualityPoint Technologies
qualitypointtech.net — “Using fruit flies as a model to study embryo formation, scientists report in Nature Cell Biology that molecular breakdown of a protein called Bicoid is vital to normal head-to-tail patterning of the insect's offspring. Published online recently by the journal, the study shows how Bicoid is targeted for molecular degradation by a newly identified protein the researchers named Fates-shifted (Fsd). Without the interaction between Bicoid and Fsd, fruit fly embryos are improperly formed and misshaped” View full resource at qualitypointtech.net

Researchers use model organism to test new therapies for retinal degeneration
news-medical.net — “Research by Johns Hopkins sensory biologists studying fruit flies, has revealed a critical step in fly vision. Humans with problems in this same step suffer retinal dystrophies, which manifest as visual defects ranging from mild visual impairments to complete blindness.” View full resource at news-medical.net

The buzz on fruit flies: New role in the search for addiction treatments
feeds.sciencedaily.com — “Fruit flies may seem like unlikely heroes in the battle against drug abuse, but new research suggests that these insects -- already used to study dozens of human disease -- could claim that role. Scientists are reporting that fruit flies can be used as a simpler and more convenient animal model for studying the effects of cocaine and other drugs of abuse on the brain.” View full resource at feeds.sciencedaily.com
