Paraneoplastic syndrome represents a major systemic complication in cancer patients but its causes remain unclear. This study ...

Paraneoplastic syndromes affect multiple organs and are a central cause of mortality in cancer patients. In this issue, Cong et al ( 2025) report an inflammatory gut-kidney axis mediating systemic ...

In this study, the researchers used Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to identify genes that influence gut damage caused by radiation. They discovered a gene called meltrin, the fly equivalent of ...

By Alice Callahan When we published an article last year about the various ways alcohol might change your gut microbiome, the reader response was overwhelming. One person said that after quitting ...

Chen explained that by examining the mechanisms of chemical signals in the gut, researchers can utilize these findings to influence health and aging. “We work with Drosophila as a model organism,” ...

Here, we show that interleukin-6-like cytokine signaling from the Drosophila gut to brain glial cells regulates sleep. Under healthy conditions, this pathway promotes wakefulness. However, elevated ...

Herein, we examined how dietary adenine affects uric acid levels and the gut microbiota over five generations of Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type W1118 flies consumed diets with various adenine ...

The Colombani Andersen lab at the section of Cell & Neurobiology, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen uses the fruit fly, Drosophila, to study the mechanisms that regulate gut plasticity.

Congo Red Staining of Bacterial Colonies and Colony Forming Unit Counting To determine the E. coli (Curli-producing) load in the gut, flies were surface sterilized with 70% ethanol for 1 min and ...

They asked whether sex hormones affect intestinal stem cells' ability to multiply and contribute to gut growth. "My lab and many others around the world have studied the Drosophila gut for some ...
