Use 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 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 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 کاملChlamydomonas as a Model Organism.
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas offers a simple life cycle, easy isolation of mutants, and a growing array of tools and techniques for molecular genetic studies. Among the principal areas of current investigation using this model system are flagellar structure and function, genetics of basal bodies (centrioles), chloroplast biogenesis, photosynthesis, light perception, cell-cell recogn...
متن کاملIntroduction: C. elegans as a model organism
organism The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a genetically tractable multicellular organism that has been the subject of intense study for more than four decades. It has been successfully used as a model system to address fundamental questions in multiple fields of biology, including development, neurobiology and aging. In recent years, this tiny nematode worm has been applied to the study o...
