Fruit flies’ eyes are revealing insights into how vision works, which could shed light on how similar biochemical processes are involved in cancer and the immune system. 🪰
Vikki Weake, professor of @PurdueBioChem, and her @LifeAtPurdue colleagues explored how light changes a protein that helps fruit flies respond to rapidly flickering light. Published in @ScienceMagazine Signaling, their findings highlight how phosphorylation, a process that alters protein function, shapes the visual response.
