Rac1 signalling in the Drosophila larval cellular immune response.
The Drosophila larval cellular immune response involves cells (hemocytes) that can be recruited from a hematopoietic organ located behind the brain, as well as a sessile population of cells found just underneath the larval cuticle arranged in a segmental pattern. By using two Rac1 GTPase effector-loop mutants together with epistasis studies, we show that Rac1 requires the Drosophila melanogaste...
متن کاملA Short Receptor Downregulates JAK/STAT Signalling to Control the Drosophila Cellular Immune Response
The posterior signalling centre (PSC), a small group of specialised cells, controls hemocyte (blood cell) homeostasis in the Drosophila larval hematopoietic organ, the lymph gland. This role of the PSC is very reminiscent of the "niche," the micro-environment of hematopoietic stem cells in vertebrates. We have recently shown that the PSC acts in a non-cell-autonomous manner to maintain janus ty...

متن کاملTitle : Senescence of the cellular immune response in Drosophila melanogaster
Title: Senescence of the cellular immune response in Drosophila melanogaster. Abstract Immune system effectiveness generally declines as animals age, compromising disease resistance. In Drosophila, expression of a variety of immune-related genes elevates during ageing; however how this is linked to increasing pathogen susceptibility in older flies has remained unclear. We investigated whether c...
