What a pleasure to have @jcarnesecchi.bsky.social visit us in Glasgow to share her fab work on transcription factors and RNA! Thanks for coming so far north to join us for a bit!

Had a great time with my #drosophila #JEDI fellows Adam Dobson and @nathanwoodling.bsky.social. Thanks so much Adam for the invitation: exciting science, insightful EDI discussions and great colleagues at the School of Molecular Biosciences in Glasgow! A rainy but so friendly scottish spirit 😊

A #sciku: Age crumbles defence, whether to armies or germs; but in diverse ways! New out from @jennyregan.bsky.social and team, showing how correlations between mortality and age-related susceptibility to infection depend on sex and genotype: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #Drosophila #AgingResearch

Different ways to die: harnessing variation in Drosophila reveals loss of tolerance and resistance over age and sex-specific association between infection susceptibility and lifespan

It is widely accepted that susceptibility to infection increases with age. The reason often invoked is the dysregulation of the immune system, which is both cause and consequence of ageing. However, w...

🎉Excited to share our latest paper, published in Nature Communications!🎉 "Enhancing autophagy by redox regulation extends lifespan in Drosophila" #redox #metabolism #ageing #Drosophila @natcomms.nature.com @mrc-lms.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Enhancing autophagy by redox regulation extends lifespan in Drosophila - Nature Communications

Redox signalling is emerging as an important regulator of metabolism and physiology, which is dysregulated in ageing and disease. Here, the authors show that redox regulation of a key redox sensitive ...

FlyBase@flybase.bsky.social · last yr.

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

Joris Deelen@jorisdeelen.bsky.social · last yr.

I am very proud to present you the first paper from the main research line of my group at the @mpiage.bsky.social in collaboration with my current group @molepi.bsky.social @bds-lumc.bsky.social at the LUMC, which is now published in @geroscience.bsky.social! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Functional characterisation of rare variants in genes encoding the MAPK/ERK signalling pathway identified in long-lived Leiden Longevity Study participants - GeroScience

Human longevity, which is coupled to compression of age-related disease, is a heritable trait. However, only few common genetic variants have been linked to longevity, suggesting that rare, family-spe...

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

For #drosophila scientists, I've made a free #diagram resource of a variety of common physical markers, both coloured and lined. Hopefully going to make more, so feel free to share suggestions! Current collection: Bar, CyO, e, Hu, w, mini-w, Pin, v, wt, Sp, Ser, Sb, y. doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

As this is away from my art-focussed Instagram, I feel like I can finally share some of my science work! Submitted this as part of an image competition last year (Scottish Microscopy Symposium), featuring 4 little fun fly heads! Neat, I think! #microscopy #drosophila

Microscopic view of 4 arranged fly heads. Exoskeletons is cleared, allowing view of the central nervous system beneath. Tissue is stained in green and purple.
