🆕 New paper out with Jean-Luc Imler and Rune Hartmann in EMBO journal. We dissect mechanisms of antiviral immunity and how STING is activated by FADD and DREDD during viral infection in Drosophila melanogaster. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

FADD is recruited to activated STING oligomers to initiate caspase-mediated NF-κB activation in Drosophila melanogaster - The EMBO Journal
STING is an evolutionarily conserved key regulator of innate immunity. In the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, STING activates the NF-κB-like transcription factor Relish, initially characterize...

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatme...

The #fly community aims to achieve a comprehensive genomic study of the Drosophilidae family. @pankajd.bsky.social @bernardkim.bsky.social @petrovadmitri.bsky.social @darrenobbard.bsky.social present a comparative gene annotation for 301 #Drosophilidae species @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4c3pyrI
Time-calibrated phylogeny of the family Drosophilidae showing major species groups, surrounded by representative adult flies that highlight the remarkable morphological diversity of this model insect group. The composite image was created using Microsoft PowerPoint. Fly photographs were taken by Darren J. Obbard and are published under the Creative Commons Attribution License with permission.
