A fruitful endeavor: Modeling ALS in the fruit fly [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Research, 2015
For over a century Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly, has been instrumental in genetics research and disease modeling. In more recent years, it has been a powerful tool for modeling and studying neurodegenerative diseases, including the devastating and fatal amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Light input pathways to the circadian clock of insects with an emphasis on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Physiology, 2019
Light is the most important Zeitgeber for entraining animal activity rhythms to the 24-h day. In all animals, the eyes are the main visual organs that are not only responsible for motion and colour (image) vision, but also transfer light information to ...

The Fruit Fly as a Meeting Place for Microbes [PDF]

open access: yesCell Host & Microbe, 2008
Many infectious diseases of humans are caused by polymicrobial communities, but there are few in vivo models to study such communities. In a recent issue of PLoS Pathogens, Sibley and colleagues (Sibley et al., 2008a) report the development of a fruit fly infection model to investigate polymicrobial interactions and their effects on the host.

How Does a Delicate Insect Wing Resist Damage? Chitin Orientation Is Adapted to the Mechanical Demands at the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.
