Drosophila TNF/TNFRs: At the crossroad between metabolism, immunity, and tissue homeostasis

J Colombani, DS Andersen - FEBS letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α is a highly conserved proinflammatory cytokine with important
functions in immunity, tissue repair, and cellular homeostasis. Due to the simplicity of the …

Ubiquitin signalling in Drosophila innate immune responses

AL Aalto, V Luukkonen, A Meinander - The FEBS Journal, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Cells respond to invading pathogens and danger signals from the environment by adapting

Inter-cell type interactions that control JNK signaling in the Drosophila intestine

P Zhang, SM Pronovost, M Marchetti, C Zhang… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
JNK signaling is a critical regulator of inflammation and regeneration, but how it is controlled
in specific tissue contexts remains unclear. Here we show that, in the Drosophila intestine …

Wengen's hidden powers: ROS triggers a TNFR-dependent tissue regenerative pathway in Drosophila

DS Andersen, J Colombani - The EMBO Journal, 2024 - embopress.org
While the role of the Tumor necrosis factor-α (referred to as TNF here) as a key mediator of
pro-inflammatory and immune responses is well-established, non-pathological functions of …

[HTML][HTML] TNF signaling mediates cellular immune function and promotes malaria parasite killing in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae
