Closing out 2024, a new publication in the main journal explores the use of a fly model in the understanding of Short-Chain Enoyl-CoA Hydratase 1 (ECHS1) Deficiency.

Excited to share our synthetic diet that supports #Drosophila development in collab with Piper Lab @MonashBiol. We show its use for precision nutrition for rare metabolic disorders. #nutrigenomics and #diseasemodelling 🪰🍔. @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU https://t.co/hCEWBgEPjc

I'm proud of every paper, but this one is special. Here with PiperLab @MonashBiol, we couple the power of #Drosophila with a completely synthetic diet to find potential treatments for rare inherited metabolic disorders @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU #RareDiseaseDay2024 🧵

[Johnson Lab @TravisKJohnson]

Using flies enables us to look at many IMDs at a time and test many flies for each. This could open new avenues for dietary therapy for patients with these terrible rare disorders. #RareDiseaseDay2024

@SABE_latrobe @DugaldEReid @NatureComms Excellent work Dugald!

[Johnson Lab @TravisKJohnson]

Such beautiful work Ben and team (as always). Congrats 👏- can’t wait to read it!

[Benjamin Kroeger @BenjaminKroeger]

Excited to share our #preprint in which we uncover a new subcellular site of Hippo pathway signalling with links to tissue morphogenesis and mechanobiology. A 🧵 1/10
