This study shows that vitamin B3 supplementation protects mitochondria from antibiotic-induced damage, preserving bioenergetics and thermogenesis in Drosophila and human cells.

This study identifies IbinA and IbinB as regulators of the Toll pathway-mediated immune response in Drosophila, showing distinct roles in infection susceptibility and tissue protection.

This study shows that mitochondrial DNA variation influences innate immune responses and infection outcomes in Drosophila by affecting gene expression and immune cell function.
