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…
This technique provides a simple but effective way to study the functions of organs in living…
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…
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…
