Neckameyer WS, Argue KJ. Comparative approaches to the study of physiology: Drosophila as a physiological tool. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2013 Feb;304(3):R177-88. PMID: 23220476.
In the summary, the authors state that "The contributions of the Drosophila model to our understanding of numerous diverse physiological pathways cannot be overemphasized ... so much of what we now realize to be of critical significance in the etiology of human disease can trace its lineage to genetic mutations identified in Drosophila."
