21. Drosophila immune responses in a model for epithelial hypertrophy
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis, differentiation and proliferation have to be tightly balanced and thus regulated to maintain tissue homeostasis. Stress, metabolic cues, genetic variability, infections and physiological host-commensal interactions influence this balance and thus need to be integrated. Therefore, beyond the discrimination between self and non-self (i.e. LÄS MER
22. Molecular characterization of the Drosophila responses towards nematodes
Sammanfattning : A sophisticated evolutionary conserved innate immune system has evolved in insects to fight pathogens and to restrict damage in harmful (danger) situations including cancer. A significant amount of knowledge about different infection models in Drosophila has been generated in past decades, which revealed functional resemblances and implications for vertebrate systems.

23. Timing Matters : Wounding and entomopathogenic nematode infection kinetics
Sammanfattning : Over time, insects have developed complex strategies to defend themselves against presenting threats. However, in the evolutionary arms race of survival, pathogens have adapted to quickly overcome the immune response mounted by the host. LÄS MER
24. Activation of the Cellular Immune Response in Drosophila melanogaster Larvae
Sammanfattning : During the last 40 years, Drosophila melanogaster has become an invaluable tool in understanding innate immunity. The innate immune system of Drosophila consists of a humoral and a cellular component. While many details are known about the humoral immune system, our knowledge about the cellular immune system is comparatively small. LÄS MER
25. Innate immune gene expression and function studied in insects and mammals
Sammanfattning : Insects and mammals possess innate immune responses to effectively recognize and eliminate invading microorganisms. Insects, who share with mammals conserved molecules for immune defense, are good model systems for innate immunity studies. LÄS MER
