Using the Drosophila
melanogaster fruit fly
as a
model organism, the team led by Prof. Dr. Ingrid Lohmann at Heidelberg University's Centre for Organismal Studies was able to show how a special developmental gene from the Hox family influences germline stem cells.

melanogaster as an experimental
model,
as this tractable
organism experiences age - related changes of their stem cells that are similar to the ones observed in mammals.
The fruit fly, Drosophila
melanogaster, is widely used
as a
model organism for biological and biomedical research and so such puppetry should allow the species to be studied more easily than ever before.
Our lab investigates the mechanisms by which this complex and similar groups of proteins organize DNA and regulate transcription in human cells and tissues,
as well
as in the
model organism of Drosophila
melanogaster.
