Fisetin-mediated MYC restoration improves age-associated decline in macrophage function
Immune decline in older adults is associated with increased susceptibility to infection and chronic inflammatory diseases. Macrophages are critical innate immune cells that show reduced capacity for p...

Expansion of Drosophila haemocytes using a conditional GeneSwitch driver affects larval haemocyte function, but does not modulate adult lifespan or survival after severe infection
Macrophages are responsible for diverse and fundamental functions in vertebrates. Drosophila blood cells (haemocytes) are dominated by cells bearing a striking homology to vertebrate macrophages (plas...

Importing flies into the UK has got much easier. The overseas lab has to (with the help of the receiving lab) download a "General Import Licence" from the Agriculture ministry, sign off on the conditions listed, and include it with the shipping documents. However.... 1/4
