LPS/TLR4-Activating Exosomes from M1-Polarized Avian Macrophages Enhances IBV Vaccine-Induced Protective Immunity in Chickens

Jun Zhou, Shikai Cai, Hongbin Huang…·Yun Zhang

This study shows that exosomes from M1-polarized chicken macrophages enhance IBV vaccine immunity in chickens by boosting immune markers and reducing viral load.

UPF1 localises to mitochondria and is linked to mitochondrial gene expression and function in Drosophila

Matthew T Wright, Hannah L Dixon, Parul Gopal…·Saverio Brogna

This study shows UPF1 localizes to mitochondria in Drosophila and affects mitochondrial gene expression and function independently of its role in NMD.

The Drosophila TNF Eiger activates caspase-dependent necrosis when apoptosis is blocked

Mingli Li, Shiyao Sun, Jessica Priest…·Yun Fan

This study shows that Eiger in Drosophila can induce both apoptosis and non-apoptotic necrosis, with necrosis requiring JNK and caspase activity independent of apoptosis.
