"But that's correlation, not a direct demonstration that F-actin is detrimental to aging of the brain," said Walker, senior author and UCLA professor of integrative biology and physiology. "To get at causality, we turned to genetics." Because the fruit fly genome is thoroughly mapped and un...

Fruit flies have also contributed to the field of genetics; Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first to systemically study fruit flies and confirmed the chromosomal theory of inheritance. Humans and fruit flies are genetically similar, so fruit flies can model human diseases for research. Fruit fly brains...
During the past few years, the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has emerged as a powerful tool to model human neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we describe the various approaches utilized to create fly models of human neurodegenerative disease, and how they can aid in our understanding of ...
In most insects, the MAG has a tubular sac-like morphology that is formed by a monolayer of epithelial cells that produce and secrete the various proteinous components of the seminal fluid (see Supplementary Fig.S2Afor the fruit fly,Drosophila). The internal cavity of the MAG works as a re...
