Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is usually studied in complex mammalian models and clinical cohorts—because the human gut is complicated, and so is the disease. But a new review points to a ...

A new computational model simulating fruit fly wing development has enabled researchers to identify previously hidden mechanisms behind organ generation. Because organs develop in remarkably similar ...

All animals, large or small, have to move at an incredible precision to interact with the world. Understanding how the brain controls movement is a fundamental question in neuroscience. For larger ...

San Francisco startup Eon Systems claims that it has created the first digital simulation of a fruit fly brain that can control a virtual body and produce recognizable behaviors.… We'd call this "huge ...

Drosophila -- known as fruit flies -- are a valuable model for human heart pathophysiology, including cardiac aging and cardiomyopathy. However, a choke point in evaluating fruit fly hearts is the ...

A new computational model simulating fruit fly wing development has enabled researchers to identify previously hidden mechanisms behind organ generation. An research team developed a fruit fly model ...

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham now show a way to significantly cut the time needed for that analysis while utilizing more of the heart region, using deep learning and ...
