This study identifies NimB2 as an opsonin in Drosophila that enhances recognition of Staphylococcus aureus by macrophages through binding to lipoteichoic acid and the receptor Eater.

This paper shows that antimicrobial peptides damage neurons by binding to exposed phosphatidylserine, and that Turandot proteins protect neurons by reducing this interaction.

This study identifies NimB1 as a secreted protein that inhibits early apoptotic cell phagocytosis in Drosophila by binding phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells, opposing the function of NimB4.

The paper assesses the replicability of claims in Drosophila immunity research by analyzing 400 publications and identifying contradictory evidence.

This study uses proteomics to analyze Drosophila hemolymph after bacterial infection, identifying new proteins and changes in mitochondrial respiration.
