Drosophila research a highlight in a review article about obesity-related research

Mirth CK, Piper MD. Matching complex dietary landscapes with the signalling pathways that regulate life history traits. Curr Opin Genet Dev. 2017 Dec;47:9-16. doi: 10.1016/j.gde.2017.08.001. PMID: 28822885.

From the abstract: "The rise in obesity in human populations has reinvigorated research focused on how nutrition impacts life history traits, including body size, lifespan, reproductive success, stress resistance and propensity for disease. ... Here, we offer our perspective on how to integrate insights from the cellular to the whole organism to understand the regulation of life history traits."
