Fruit Flies Unleash Surprising New Evolutionary Link for Studying Human Health
New research shows that fruit flies and mammals may share a surprising evolutionary link in how they control body temperature through circadian rhythm, unlocking new ways to study the insects as models of human development and disease. The study posted online Sept. 13 by iCurrent Biology/i reports that similar to people, iDrosophila/i fruit flies - a common research tool in life sciences - have a genetically driven internal clock.
