The circadian clock neural network is highly conserved across species, making the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster an ideal model for circadian clock studies. The study revealed that light input ...

However, it is unknown whether IVD tissue contains functional circadian clocks and if so, how their dysregulation is implicated in IVD degeneration. Results Here we show the existence of the circadian ...

Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock. Light, sleep patterns, hormones, meals, and temperature can all influence your circadian rhythm, which in turn can influence your overall health.

What is the role of neuronal activity in circadian rhythms? What are the components of the membrane clock and how do they interact with the molecular clock? These are being testing in fly, mouse and ...

Circadian rhythms are the cycles that tell the body when to sleep, wake, and eat—the biological and psychological processes that oscillate in predictable patterns each day. This internal clock ...

Make room in your fly box for a few mouse flies. Once you experience the thrill of catching a big trout on a "Mouse," you'll understand the obsession. Here are my two favorite patterns to get you ...

But the fruit fly is much more than an annoying house guest. In fact, Drosophila melanogaster has been one of the most important species for science for more than a century. Were it not for these ...

Caitlyn Perry receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), more correctly called the vinegar fly, is a frequent visitor to ripe fruit in ...

For example, a shorter circadian period in male flies may allow them to wake up earlier, making it easier for them to find and court inactive females rather than active ones (Helfrich-Förster, 2000).

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena have now discovered that the fruit fly Drosophila busckii has developed a tolerance to the toxic sulfur compound ...

Jan. 17 (UPI) --The Department of Agriculture said Friday it has tapped $129 million in emergency funding to battle a worsening incursion of exotic, invasive fruit flies from Mexico and Guatemala.
