Drosophila, commonly known as fruit flies, have been the focus of numerous biomedical and neuroscientific studies, as they can be easily bred, examined and experimented on. Over the years, studies on Drosophila have led to ...
High levels of stress are known to contribute to the development of many psychiatric and medical conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, hypertension, and heart disease. Past case studies suggest that psychiatric ...
A research team of 37 scientists, led by the Technical University of Munich, has developed a method to interrogate drug-induced post-translational modifications (PTMs) in a time and dose-dependent way.
Soft biological tissues are important constituents that influence human physiology and disease since they impact cell behavior during tissue development, maintenance and repair. Most existing methods are limited by comprehensive ...
A UCLA-led research team has identified genetic processes involved in the neurodegeneration that occurs in dementia—an important step on the path toward developing therapies that could slow or halt the course of the disease. ...

(Medical Xpress)—Researchers at the University of Surrey in the U.K. have found that drastically altered sleep schedules (such as switching to working a night shift) can dramatically impact gene expression rhythm. In their ...
(Medical Xpress)—UCLA life scientists have identified a gene previously implicated in Parkinson's disease that can delay the onset of aging and extend the healthy life span of fruit flies. The research, they say, could ...
