Different impacts of the same molecular and circuit mechanisms on sleep–wakefulness control in early-life juveniles and adults.

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability ...

Researchers elucidated the molecular details of how Drosophila larval epidermal cells (LECs) undergo cell death in a controlled manner to regulate epithelial tissue remodeling. Specifically, lower ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful new genetic toolkit that allows scientists to study how genes ...

An unexpected find shows that sweet-sensing receptors also help epithelial cells in Drosophila larvae stay alive amid proteotoxic stress. While combing through a list of genes that are differently ...

Imagine enjoying a tasty dinner alone at home—you may freely indulge without worrying about others. Now imagine sharing the same meal with friends or colleagues: depending on the social context, you ...

One of the best parts of working with University of Idaho Extension is the constant learning opportunity. Recently, I had a learning experience that hit close to home—literally. Spotted wing ...
