Sexual Dimorphisms in Innate Immunity and Responses to Infection in Drosophila melanogaster
The sexes show profound differences in responses to infection and the development of
autoimmunity. Dimorphisms in immune responses are ubiquitous across taxa, from …

The microbiome stabilizes circadian rhythms in the gut
The gut microbiome is well known to impact host physiology and health. Given widespread
control of physiology by circadian clocks, we asked how the microbiome interacts with …

[HTML][HTML] Microbiota-derived lactate activates production of reactive oxygen species by the intestinal NADPH oxidase Nox and shortens Drosophila lifespan
Commensal microbes colonize the gut epithelia of virtually all animals and provide several
benefits to their hosts. Changes in commensal populations can lead to dysbiosis, which is …

Metabolic cross-feeding in imbalanced diets allows gut microbes to improve reproduction and alter host behaviour
The impact of commensal bacteria on the host arises from complex microbial-diet-host
interactions. Map** metabolic interactions in gut microbial communities is therefore key to …

The Intestine of Drosophila melanogaster: An Emerging Versatile Model System to Study Intestinal Epithelial Homeostasis and Host-Microbial Interactions in Humans
In all metazoans, the intestinal tract is an essential organ to integrate nutritional signaling,
hormonal cues and immunometabolic networks. The dysregulation of intestinal epithelium …
