In the Geislerlab, we explore how plants move auxin, a signal that guides their growth and movements. This process is provided by specific transport proteins. By studying them, we not only learn how plants grow but might also gain insights that could help improve cancer treatments.

Saving a species but at the expense of others?
Three researchers from the Department of Biology at the University of Fribourg have demonstrated that reintroducing large herbivorous mammals into regions outside their natural range is not such a good idea.

🔥 Meet the Glauser Lab! We ask how animals sense danger & protect themselves. With tiny worms (just 302 neurons, yet sharing half our genes!) we explore how brains react to heat, how experience changes responses, and how this can inspire new ways to treat human pain.

A particular species of Drosophila prefers the noni fruit also called “vomit fruit” over more commonly appealing options (bananas, grapes, apples). Why? @tomtom-auer.bsky.social and his colleagues has an answer:

Evolution of taste processing shifts dietary preference - preLights
Flies learning to like 'vomit fruit': an example of bitter going from 'yuck' to 'yum.' New research in Drosophila sechellia reveals how taste circuits can evolve to make bitter better. 🍋🪰
