This study identifies early brain-wide reductions in cell size and volume during adulthood in Drosophila melanogaster, linked to aging and modifiable by Myc overexpression.

This study examines how lifespan modifiers affect polyploidy accumulation in the aging Drosophila brain, finding that lifespan extension delays but does not prevent polyploid cell accumulation.

This study shows that activating the GeneSwitch system in adult Drosophila muscles with RU486 causes severe structural and lifespan defects, highlighting the need for careful experimental design.
