Endogenous ceramide phosphoethanolamine modulates circadian rhythm and longevity in Drosophila
The circadian clock entrains rhythmic patterns in behavioral and physiological processes to temporally coordinate systemic metabolism with the rising and setting of the sun. In previous investigation on human subjects, sphingomyelins (SMs) exhibited.....»»
New insight into how xeroderma pigmentosum causative gene products ensure the accuracy of DNA repair
Our genomic DNA is continuously damaged by endogenous factors such as reactive oxygen species, and also by environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, radiation, and chemicals. Failure to repair damaged DNA may induce mutations and cell death, e.....»»
CRISPR/Cas9-based gene drive could suppress agricultural pests
Researchers have developed a "homing gene drive system" based on CRISPR/Cas9 that could be used to suppress populations of Drosophila suzukii vinegar flies—so-called "spotted-wing Drosophila" that devastate soft-skinned fruit in North America, Euro.....»»
