Exploring the Role of Nutrient Sensing Pathways in Blue Light-Induced Lifespan Reduction in Drosophila

Creator:

Shimoda, Kelsey A.

Abstract:

People are increasingly staring at device screens which emit predominantly blue light. Because LED technology is relatively new, we do not know what effects blue light has on our long-term health. Blue light exposure leads to a dramatic decrease in longevity in Drosophila, thus this study aims to explore possible...
