New Findings from University of Maryland in Obesity, Fitness and Wellness Provides New Insights (Single-cell Profiling of the Developing Embryonic Heart In Drosophila).

A new report discusses research findings on obesity, fitness, and wellness, specifically focusing on the study of heart development and disease in the model organism Drosophila. The researchers conducted single-cell profiling of the developing fly heart, identifying six distinct cardiac cell types and creating a comprehensive 3D cell map. This data provides a resource for studying genetic perturbations and cardiac diseases in the fly heart. The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and has been peer-reviewed.
