The draft Rules specify which animals can be used in research, what experiments are permitted and what safeguards are needed to minimise their suffering. The public can submit comments on the draft until November 5 You are logged in You don’t…
Editors at Applied Biological Chemistry have retracted a study that claimed fisetin, a plant-derived flavonoid, protected rats against kidney injury and fibrosis caused by diesel particulate matter through effects on IL-23/mTOR/S6K-b1 signaling and caveolin-1 expression. The retraction note was published…
A new study of the defective chorion 1 gene in two major pest fruit flies finds pervasive purifying selection punctuated by episodes of positive selection across exons and evolutionary lineages.
Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury has raised concerns over the Union Government’s proposed Draft Laboratory Animals Rules, 2026, arguing that certain provisions could weaken animal welfare safeguards in scientific research. As a vocal advocate for animal welfare, the Congress MP has formally…
The resulting IgY-DILP2 antibody from this study specifically labeled the insulin-producing cells, or IPCs, in the adult fly brain, the neuroendocrine cells where DILP2 is naturally produced. Validation went further using a previously characterized dUCH-knockdown model, a genetic system in which…

When you order specialized compounds for your laboratory, you expect strict chemical integrity to back your experimental design. Rapid growth across life science research has intensified the demand for verified purity standards, pushing domestic suppliers to deliver reliable documentation for…
A critical review finds that fruit fly gravity research identifies candidate sensitive life stages but that many spaceflight responses cannot yet be confidently attributed to reduced gravity itself. News Source: Denise Maddox. (October 27, 2026). Fruit Fly Studies in Space Reveal Which…
