Losing a transport protein impairs cell recycling in flies
Genetic experiments showed that reactive oxygen molecules contributed to impaired recycling in developing fly glands; adults lacking the transport protein also lived…Genetic experiments showed that reactive oxygen molecules contributed to impaired recycling in developing fly glands; adults lacking the transport protein also lived shorter lives.
