Fruit Fly Muscle

Caption

This microscopic image of a fruit fly muscle -- generated by Erika Geisbrecht, Kansas State University associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics -- helps researchers understand how muscle diseases affect humans. The image would look similar for a human muscle because humans and fruit flies have similar muscle structures.
