Description
Sattar Soltani, Nhan Huynh, and Kirst King-Jones offer a 2024 lab method for putting drugs and other matter into fruit fly young. Flies are a key model for growth and for human ills, but tests of how matter acts inside the body have been rare. Their method aims to make such tests fast and safe for the young flies.
A skilled worker can treat 150 to 300 young flies in three to five hours, and most of them live. As a test, the team put an iron store protein into mutant flies that lack it. The treated flies were saved, which shows the method can deliver real goods into the body.
