This study shows that time-restricted eating in Drosophila leads to sustained fat loss and improved muscle function without calorie restriction.

This study shows that recent social loss, not chronic isolation, increases sleep in Drosophila using a new tracking system that avoids social-state transitions during testing.

This study shows how midgut clocks and feeding behavior regulate each other in Drosophila, with implications for metabolic health.

easyClock is a user-friendly desktop application for circadian rhythm analysis and visualization, offering batch processing and multiple analysis methods without coding expertise.

This study identifies chemosensation, specifically the OR43a receptor, as a driver of divergent social behavior in Drosophila, showing sexual dimorphism and strain-specific genetic variation.

The paper shows that energy deficit drives sleep homeostasis in Drosophila by linking sleep loss to increased metabolic expenditure and food intake, followed by rebound sleep.

This study investigates how chronic short sleep affects metabolism and survival under oxidative stress in mutants, finding common metabolic defects and suggesting lipid metabolism issues may underlie oxidative stress sensitivity.

The paper shows mechanical force activates TREK-1 channels via PLD2 and lipid clustering, leading to second messenger signaling and ion flow.

This study shows that dNf1 in Drosophila regulates metabolic rate through neuronal mechanisms, with effects on feeding, lipid stores, and energy expenditure.
