Fruit fly research reveals genetic mechanisms of dietary sugar sensing

Friday, October 2, 2015 - 06:50 in Biology & Nature

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have identified a sugar sensing regulatory network, which is composed of several genes. Deregulation of this sugar sensing network leads to severely disturbed energy metabolism. The new insight gained in this study may also benefit research into human metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
