Nutrient-sensing circuit guides gut cell development in flies

Preprint: fly studyNutrient sensing
Who was studiedFruit flies
What changedIn fed flies, PWP1 was needed for immature gut cells to become nutrient-absorbing cells and could trigger that development
The catchThe abstract omits group sizes for the lifespan experiments
