The paper investigates how ethanol consumption affects host metabolism and parasitoid resistance in Drosophila larvae, finding that metabolic changes, not direct ethanol toxicity, mediate resistance.

This study identifies the PDGF/VEGF signaling pathway as a key driver of immunometabolism in Drosophila during parasitoid wasp infection, revealing a trade-off between immune function and development.

The paper investigates how venom vesicles from Ganaspis hookeri parasitoid wasps facilitate the entry of venom proteins, including SERCA, into host immune cells to suppress immune responses.

This paper shows parasitoid wasps suppress Drosophila JAK-STAT pathway activity to evade immune defenses.

The paper identifies conserved gene expression changes and transcription factor binding sites in Drosophila melanogaster across diverse immune responses to pathogens.

This study investigates how the Drosophila p38 MAPK gene influences age-dependent protein aggregation through its interaction with the Chaperone-Assisted Selective Autophagy complex.

The paper analyzes parasitoid venom evolution and function through bioinformatic methods to understand mechanisms of host manipulation.
