Fruit fly
Seeing evolution happening before your eyes
Researchers from EMBL Heidelberg have established an automated pipeline to create mutations in genomic enhancers, letting them watch evolution unfold…
Time heals all wounds
We’ve all had wounds at certain times in our lives. But they heal due to the self-repairing mechanisms in the…
Fruit fly with a heart of gold
Not just another pretty fruit fly. This magenta and golden drosophila larva is lit up with a fluorescent molecule to help researchers study heart…
Not a galaxy far, far away
While this may seem like a nebula made up of interstellar clouds of dust and ionised gases, this image isn’t of a galaxy beyond the Milky…
A luminous larval love light
Those heart-shaped cells aren't just for show. They help tell the story of two proteins working…
Breathing beneath the skin
Beautiful flashes of blue colour help light the way for researchers to study cells in fruit fly larva that provide oxygen to…
Predicting how gene expression varies
Discoveries at EMBL will help researchers to interpret one of the most common types of experiments in genomics and medical…
Wings without wings
The image shown here, taken by Daniel Rios-Barrera from the Leptin Group shows the cells of the early wing tissue of the fly during larval…
Gazing at healing wounds
What may look like a branch of a tree with the first flower buds emerging after winter are, in fact, tracheal cells of a fruit fly larva and their…
New technique for studying living fly larvae
This technique provides a simple but effective way to study the functions of organs in living…
A giant called dumpy
Fruit flies have something that we don’t have: they produce a protein called dumpy. This protein is the largest created by insects, and is…
When life takes shape
Today’s picture of the week is not only a colourful one, it is also a snapshot of the vast number of shapes that the cells inside an animal body…
