This important study leverages the power of Drosophila genetics and sparsely-labeled neurons to propose a new model for neuronal injury signaling. The authors present convincing evidence to support ...

Many flies are plagued by parasitic wasps, which lay their eggs in fly larvae, turning them into ... the defense in one widespread fly species, Drosophila ananassae, and found that nearly all ...

A calf strain is an injury to the muscles of the back of the lower leg. These injuries are most often caused by minor tears of muscle fibers. Usually, the bulk of the muscle tissue remains intact.

Peroxisome malfunctions have detrimental effects on plant and C. elegans development, the capability of yeast to grow on fatty acids, drosophila muscle function, and are linked to several inherited ...

Whiteman. The team previously showed that knocking out this gene in Drosophila ananassae resulted in nearly all fly larvae succumbing to wasp predation. In their latest study, published in the journal ...

Last year, the researchers and their colleagues in Hungary used CRISPR genome editing to knock out the gene responsible for the defense in one widespread fly species, Drosophila ananassae ...

Muscle is a soft tissue composed of elongated cells (muscle fibres) that produce force and motion through contraction. Involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles are responsible for contraction of the ...

The foot is a complex structure made up of 28 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, over 100 tendons and ligaments, and more than 200,000 different nerve endings. These work together to allow you to walk, run ...
