As the climate changes, scientists are concerned about how well plants and animals will adapt to rapid warming. A new ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Aug. 18, 2025) — Understanding how fruit fly embryos assert metabolic independence from their mothers may help scientists better understand the earliest stages of human health and ...

If fruit fly wings do not develop into the right shape, the flies will die. Researchers have learned how fly embryo cells develop as they need to, opening a window into human development and possible ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to form through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of researchers headed by MIT engineers has now developed a ...

A small tissue fold present in fruit fly embryos buffers mechanical stresses and may have evolved in response to mechanical forces. Mechanical forces shape tissues and organs during the development of ...

These side-by-side time-lapse videos offer a detailed view of how cells move in a growing fruit fly embryo and of how its nervous system develops and organizes. This is a side-by-side time-lapse video ...

This time-lapse video shows the development of the nervous system in a fruit fly embryo as it transitions to the larval stage. Fruit flies have a high reproduction rate and a very short gestation ...
