Researchers have uncovered how non-neuronal cells in the brain – glial cells – play an active role in regulating sleep and ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

We studied one female brain data set as well as a male and a female nerve cord ... More information: Tomke Stürner et al, ...

K nowing the location of a gene within intact tissue or a single cell allows scientists to unlock unknown cellular functions.

Researchers have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The study describes in detail the neurons that span the entire nervous system ...

2003 ). For example, when expressed in the Drosophila brain, Tau protein—which forms neurofibrillary tangle pathology in AD—causes adult onset, progressive neurodegeneration, truncated lifespan and ...

Using brain mapping, genetic engineering and machine learning, scientists reveal how parasitic bacteria take over fruit fly ...

To rest our bodies, and our brains? To sort through a day’s worth of memories? To cleanse our brain of waste products that collect as neurons and supporting cells busily do their thing?

Our lab has also focused these past few years on various brain-neuronal aspects of Drosophila rhythms. There are seven anatomically distinct neuronal groups, comprising in total about 75 cells on each ...

This useful study explores the role of RAP2A in asymmetric cell division (ACD) regulation in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), drawing parallels to Drosophila ACD mechanisms and proposing that an ...
