Odd protein interaction guides development of olfactory system

Scientists have discovered a strange mechanism for the development of the fruit fly antennal lobe, an intricate structure that converts the chaotic stew of odors in the environment into discrete signals in the brain. 
Fruit fly research may 'clean up' conventional impressions of biology

The metamorphosis of biology into a science offering numerically precise descriptions of nature, has taken a leap forward with the elucidation of a key step in the development of fruit fly embryos -- discoveries that could change how scientists think not just about flies, but about life in general.
A new system for collaboration in cell communication

Investigators from the Institute of Research in Biomedicine have identified a new signalling mechanism among cells in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The researchers found that two independent groups of cells generate the same signal by different pathways and that these cells subsequently act together to send the signal to the target cell. In this manner, the receptor cell receives the signal from two distinct sources.
Super Fruit Fly May Lead To Healthier Humans; Aging Slowed With Single Protein

In a triumph for pests, scientists have figured out how to make the fruit fly live longer. But humans still may get something out of the deal. As reported online in Nature Chemical Biology, the discovery that a single protein can inhibit aging holds implications for human longevity and for treatment of some of the world's most feared diseases.

Animals are usually considered to behave as complex automata, responding predictably to external stimuli. This study suggests otherwise, showing that even the humble fruit fly can behave spontaneously. The flight paths of flies in a completely featureless environment were neither random nor predictable, but followed a complicated fractal pattern generated within the fly's brain.
Do fruit flies have free will?

Free will and true spontaneity exist … in fruit flies. This is what scientists report in a groundbreaking study in the May 16, 2007 issue of the open-access journal PLoS ONE.
New technique will produce a better chromosome map

"Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a simple and economical technique for imaging and mapping fruit fly chromosomes. This new approach will enable them to construct the first accurate map of the chromosomes and tease out the secrets hidden in their stripes. "
Scientists identify genes that sweeten "vomit fruit"

"A toxic and smelly Polynesian fruit nicknamed the "vomit fruit" drives away most predators, but scientists in Japan may have discovered how it can serve as food and nest for a species of fruit fly."

"By appropriating a genetic mechanism used by the common flour beetle—a pest that can stowaway in cereal boxes bound for kitchen cabinets and pantries—Caltech researchers helped a transgenic fruit fly take over a population. The work, if replicated in malaria-resistant mosquitoes, could help battle the debilitating parasitic disease that kills between 700,000 and 2.7 million people annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "
How selfish DNA saved the fruit fly

"Selfishness is not always a bad thing. Selfish DNA has caused an entire species to become resistant to a range of insecticides in just 40 years."
