  • Investigating Potential Protective Mechanisms Against Long-Term Blue Light Damage

    Creator:
    Kumar, Rujul
    Abstract:
    Despite the prominence of LEDs in our society, we have limited knowledge pertaining to their long-term effects. These seemingly white LEDs have a large blue light component to them. Recent results have shown that Drosophila living in 12 hrs. of blue light and 12 hrs. of darkness live substantially shorter...

  • Investigating potential factors that impact aging in Drosophila melanogaster under blue light

    Creator:
    Sundaram, Subisha
    Abstract:
    Blue light exposure has been on the rise over the past several years as artificial light in the form of light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been increasing. These LEDs emit predominantly blue light through TVs, computer monitors, smartphones, tablets etc. Previous research in our lab determined that blue light accelerated...

  • The Adverse Effects of Diurnal Light Exposure on Aging Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Nash, Trevor N.
    Abstract:
    The proliferation of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasing human light exposure, yet the long-term effects of such exposure remains unknown. The current study aims to address this by measuring the longevity of Drosophila melanogaster kept in several light conditions. Initial longevity testing determined that flies kept in daily light-dark...
