INDIANAPOLIS – A single bug could a messenger for researchers who are studying changing animal populations in a region, according to IUPUI biologist Christine Picard. Picard is studying how blow flies can be ‘environmental drones’ as the flies collect information about animals that have died, animals that are still living and the diversity of animals in an environment. As decomposers, blow flies collect this data as they feed on remains of vertebrate animals as well as animal feces.

IUPUI biologists use 'mini retinas' to better understand connection between eye and brain
October 25, 2018
IUPUI biologists are growing ‘mini retinas’ in the lab from stem cells to mimic the growth of the human retina. The researchers hope to restore sight when critical connections between the eye and the brain are damaged. These models also allow researchers to better understand how cells in the retina develop and are organized. These results are published online in , a Nature Research journal.
