Food perception alone stimulates oviposition through serotonin signaling in Drosophila

This study shows that food perception alone, through olfactory signaling and serotonin receptors, stimulates oviposition in Drosophila without requiring nutrient intake.

Stochasticity in dietary restriction-mediated lifespan outcomes in Drosophila

This study investigates the stochastic effects of dietary restriction on lifespan in Drosophila, finding that DR does not universally extend lifespan and is influenced by genetic and stochastic factors.

Serotonin signaling modulates aging-associated metabolic network integrity in response to nutrient choice

This study shows that dietary choice affects metabolic network integrity in aging Drosophila through serotonin signaling, altering network structure and organism resilience.

Serotonin 2A receptor signaling coordinates central metabolic processes to modulate aging in response to nutrient choice

This study shows that nutrient choice affects aging in Drosophila through serotonin 2A receptor signaling and metabolic reprogramming.

Gene regulatory network rewiring by an adaptively evolving microRNA cluster in Drosophila

This study shows how a newly evolved microRNA cluster in Drosophila rewires gene regulatory networks through sequence changes, while maintaining a conserved target pool.
