Research project funded by NICHD to study how dietary nutrients influence growth and metabolism in Drosophila through insulin-receptor ligands.
Description
The project involves research on nutrient sensing pathways, insulin signaling, and metabolic regulation in Drosophila melanogaster. The project aims to understand how dietary nutrients regulate hormones like Dilp2 and Dilp6 and their downstream effects on growth and metabolism.
