Abstract

The Dragon fly, particularly Fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, has displayed all the behavioral traits that are associated with sleep in mammals. Some of the processes and genes that describe the sleep state of Drosophila have been linked to a protein called cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (CAMPER). Mutants that are able to lower insulin have been demonstrated to extend the healthy lifespan of nematode worms and mice, and this effect may also be seen in the aging process in humans. Drosophila's genetic regulation scheme relies heavily on the involvement of neuroendocrine neurons as key components. Scaling factors such as DIMM and Mist 1 are characterized by the fact that they display quantitative rather than qualitative characteristics of the cellular phenotype. Due to their function in multicellular processes, the IIS and TOR components can be used as pharmaceutical companies in the diagnosis and treatment of human sleep syndromes and disorders. This finding might be useful for improving the Drosophila melanogaster preservation supply chain technique, including healthcare supply chain for the logistical drivers.
