A great piece of work by the Ferrandon lab to describe the huge importance of Nora virus in #Drosophila stocks. Gut disruption creates susceptibility to coinfection by microbes. Major effects on lifespan, infection, etc... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Much needed fly #virus PSA to boot. 1/2

Thrilled to present our latest BioRXiv on brain/body interactions during defensive freezing behaviour! (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). You might think that a frozen animal has, well, frozen muscle activity, right? Wrong! Underneath the still surface of a fly, something in the legs is beating… 🧵

This Thanksgiving, I am hugely grateful for scientists who were pioneers in our field - particularly those who did not receive the credit they deserved in their own time. Inspiring examples published today: doi.org/10.1111/acel... #agingresearch #geroscience #biologyofaging #GeroSky #WomenInSTEM

Cool new work from the lab by @chris-morrow.bsky.social: Often we think of auto-fluorescence as a hindrance to experiments - but endogenous metabolites have specific fluorescence we can use to determine the metabolic state of the cell - and predict lifespan.. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Did you know fly larvae can see with their skin? Well, at least they have light-sensitive neurons lining their body wall.

I thought we could use a Drosophila starter pack, please let me know if you’d like to be added. (I think there is also a more general insect list out there somewhere that i cant find rn..) go.bsky.app/JGggkH3
