The article discusses the importance of sleep in animals and the lack of understanding about its homeostatic regulation. Drosophila has been used as a model for genetic studies o…

In this study, researchers analyzed the effects of inserting a P element into the CG3011 gene on sleep duration in Drosophila melanogaster. They found that sleep duration was dec…

In a study on fruit fly behavior, researchers used video recording and analysis to measure sleep in both wild-type and mutant flies. Under a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle (LD …

SR is responsible for D-Ser production in vivo and a specific gene called CG8129 encodes this protein in Drosophila. To investigate the role of D-Ser, researchers generated flies…

Researchers studied the sleep patterns of fruit flies with a mutation in the "SRKO" gene and compared them to normal flies (wt). They found that the SRKO flies had a higher arous…

The text discusses the role of an enzyme called SR in the synthesis of two forms of serine, L-serine and D-serine, which are involved in sleep regulation. The study found that SR…

The study found that pedestrianizing certain blocks in US cities led to a decrease in retail vacancy rates. In Buffalo, NY, all retail space on one block was filled within a deca…

A recent study found that when scientists analyze the same data set, they can arrive at vastly different conclusions. The study, which surveyed hundreds of ecologists and evolutio…

The article discusses recent research on the role of the gut-brain axis in sleep regulation and its implications for neurological disorders. The authors propose that the gut micr…

Researchers have discovered that the amino acid D-serine plays a role in regulating sleep patterns. While D-serine was first detected in animals over two decades ago, little is k…

Amino acids can exist in two forms called stereoisomers, L- and D-isomers. All common amino acids except glycine have L- and D-enantiomers. Although L-amino acids were previously…
