Aging is a complex biological process influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and interactions between organisms and their associated microbes. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster provide complementary model systems for investigati...
Viral studies of Drosophila melanogaster typically involve virus injection with a small needle, causing post-injury a wounding/wound healing response, in addition to the effects of viral infection. However, the metabolic response to the needle injury is understudied, and many viral investigations...
