A new computational model simulating fruit fly wing development has enabled researchers to identify previously hidden mechanisms behind organ generation. Because organs develop in remarkably similar ...

The fruit fly, Drosophila, has been used by scientists for more than 100 years to unravel key features of life on Earth, such as how animals respond to the sun and how the bodies of animals are ...

A new study from scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reveals that the cells shaping our organs may be far more mobile and coordinated than once believed. Using fruit flies as ...

At Cornell, Dawn Chen was counting sperm stored in a pair of organs called spermathecae in female fruit flies, fully expecting the counts to be roughly the same. The two spermathecae, which store and ...
