Eating well to grow well: discovery of a missing link

INSERM:Rénald Delanoue, Inserm Researcher, and his colleagues at the Institute of Biology Valrose in Nice (Inserm-CNRS-Université Côte d’Azur) have identified the missing links in the process that regulates the size of an organism based on the richness of its diet. Their research was conducted on Drosophila, an insect that seems very distant from humans, but the study of which has nonetheless enabled many advances in biomedical research. This work is published in the 30 September 2016 issue of the journal Science.
