Commented on Grasshopper Lazarillo, a GPI-anchored Lipocalin, increases Drosophila longevity and stress resistance, and functionally replaces its secreted homolog NLaz
Very cool finding across insects! Awesome how a protein from one insect can benefit another in various aspects.

Article

Commented on Lamin is essential for nuclear localization of the GPI synthesis enzyme PIG-B and GPI-AP production in Drosophila
WOW, interesting new finding for lamin, and its relationship with PIG-B

Article

Commented on Nuclear envelope localization of PIG-B is essential for GPI-anchor synthesis in Drosophila
Is it known if all PIG genes identified in mammals have a homolog in Drosophila? Or maybe mammals have more/fewer PIG genes than flies?

Article

Commented on COVID-19 Vaccine: Promoting Vaccine Acceptance
As pointed out, there needs to be special attention paid to particular populations, with information passed from within the community or "trusted messengers" to help with vaccine education.

Article

Commented on The Food Addiction
What networks have been linked, or have some sort of linkage to obesity?

Article

Commented on Food Addiction
Very upsetting to hear dieting can occur early in life, but great to hear there is research into food addictions.

Article

Commented on The concept of “food addiction” helps inform the understanding of overeating and obesity: YES
Considering all factors, I wonder how likely it is to predict addictive natures whether we're talking about drugs or food addiction. Maybe this would help people who are more naturally prone to addictive disorders.

Article

Commented on Sleep Science, Schedules, and Safety in Hospitals
The findings of sleep deprivation and work performances in hospital settings are rather compelling, particularly the reduction in reaction time after three weeks of chronic sleep loss.

Article

Commented on Putting cells to sleep for future science
Sounds like a good investment, and vital for various research areas.

Article

Commented on Sleep science: Broken dreams
Increased flexibility in work, school, or social lives would accommodate individual varying sleep schedules.

Article

Commented on Science of sleep
Definitely agree afternoon naps can boost productivity!

Article

Commented on Sleep Science
What processes that occur during sleep clear toxins from our body?

Article

Commented on Infection-Induced Hematopoiesis: A Zebrafish Perspective
Would there be significant benefit from conducting a similar study in adult zebrafish?

Article

Commented on Zebrafish pancreas development
Wow, I was not aware of what an amazing model the zebrafish is!

Article

Commented on Inbred zebrafish lines: A genetic repository for zebrafish researchers
Truly hope the authors are successful in generating inbred zebrafish lines!
