Optic nerve regeneration in the Xenopus laevis tadpole.

A Novel Laser-Based Method for Studying Optic Nerve Regeneration

Optic nerve regeneration is a major challenge in neurobiology due to the limited self-repair capacity of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and the inconsistency of traditional injury models.…

A fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) observed with an Ivesta 3 stereo microscope during fly pushing (sorting of the flies). The scale bar length is 1 mm. Image courtesy of M. Benton, EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany.

A Guide to Using Microscopy for Drosophila (Fruit Fly) Research

The fruit fly, typically Drosophila melanogaster, has been used as a model organism for over a century. One reason is that many disease-related genes are shared between Drosophila and humans. It is…
