Drosophila – a versatile model in biology & medicine
Many obvious practical and ethical obstacles severely limit the scope for experiments using humans in biomedical science, thus much of what we know about the underlying biology of cells and tissues comes from studies using model organisms such as mice, and the focus of this article, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Fig. 1a). Drosophila has been used productively as a model organism for ov...
متن کاملDrosophila as a lipotoxicity model organism--more than a promise?
Looking back over the century long research career of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster has frequently been in the scientific spotlight with respect to fundamental discoveries in biology. The last decade witnessed the increasing importance of the fly as a human disease model but studies on energy homeostasis and lipometabolism remain in their infancy. This perspective, addressing readers l...
متن کاملUse of Drosophila as a model organism in medicine
The fruit fly Drosophila has been an extensively important system for investigating various aspects in life science including medicinal sciences. This fly Drosophila is richly contributed to our understanding the aging pattern, neurodegenerative diseases and its use as a model organism in future, especially in the field of medicine. The utility of the Drosophila resides in two resources: its sm...
متن کاملDrosophila melanogaster as a Model Organism of Brain Diseases
Drosophila melanogaster has been utilized to model human brain diseases. In most of these invertebrate transgenic models, some aspects of human disease are reproduced. Although investigation of rodent models has been of significant impact, invertebrate models offer a wide variety of experimental tools that can potentially address some of the outstanding questions underlying neurological disease...
متن کاملA Fetching Model Organism
The creation of the domestic dog and its many breeds has been an ongoing experiment in the rapid evolution of form and function. Now, advances in genomics have made Canis familiaris genetically tractable and poised to offer insights into evolution, development, and behavior.
