How sweet it is: The fruit fly gut influences reproduction by ‘tasting’ fructose
A research group has found that in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), circulating fructose derived from dietary sugar is needed for enhanced egg production after...
The white matter of the MS brain shows abnormalities even before inflammation
Patients with MS show structural abnormalities in their white matter even before MS inflammation develops. Could this finding lead to a target for a...
Researchers successfully induce primate oocytes in the lab
