VacQuant: a tool to quantify neurodegeneration and associated vacuolation in brain tissue Neurodegenerative diseases are devastating conditions characterized by progressive cognitive decline with few available treatments. Neurodegeneration can be quantified in vertebrate and invertebrat...

Another recent paper in Fly on Drosophila in neuropathological research:
2/2 A new tool for accurately quantifying the extent of vacuolation in brain tissue in neurodegeneration models, from Kate Jordan, Flaviano Giorgini and colleagues

Innate immunity pathways activate cell proliferation after penetrating traumatic brain injury in adult Drosophila We are utilizing an adult penetrating traumatic brain injury (PTBI) model in Drosophila to investigate regenerative mechanisms after damage to the central brain. Here, we focus on cell proliferatio...

One of two recent papers in Fly on the importance of Drosophila in neuropathological research.
1/2. The importance of innate immunity pathways in responses to traumatic brain injury, from Ahern-Djamali et al in @boekhofffalklab.bsky.social

Why just fly? Drosophila melanogaster is an incredible model system, providing tools and technologies that allow careful, effective, and reproducible research. This experimental approach, and the genetic tools a...

For those of you with the skills and ‘Drosophila mindset’, studying other insects may help us understand diversity, improve the security of food production, and help avoid the current, worrying, insect apocalypse. More in this recent article in Fly Journal from @peterkdearden.bsky.social

Recounting the history of polyploid research in D. melanogaster: 1 century since 2 reports of 3 flies with 4 sets of chromosomes One hundred years ago, two reports appeared of tetraploid D. melanogaster females – curiosities that had never been seen before. The authors, Calvin Bridges and Lilian Morgan, were among the famed ...

Marking the centenary of the first report of polyploidy in Drosophila, Lewis Held has authored a provocative review in Fly on the history and recent revival of research into the phenomenon - see doi.org/10.1080/1933...

25 years of Drosophila “Sleep genes” The field of Drosophila sleep research, which began 25 years ago, has identified more than 200 genes influencing sleep. In this review, I summarize the foundation of the field and the growing list ...

New review article in Fly: Dr. Orie Shafer highlights how Drosophila has become a powerful model for dissecting the molecular and neural circuits of sleep, paving the way for future discoveries in both basic and clinical sleep science.
