Sex-specific regulation of macrophage function determines outcome to acute bacterial infection

Rebecca L. Belmonte, Julia Aleksandrowicz, Caroline Pumpe…·Jennifer C. Regan

This study shows that macrophage sex identity determines infection outcomes in Drosophila, with feminized male macrophages reducing susceptibility to S. aureus.

Harnessing variation in Drosophila melanogaster reveals different routes to increased infection susceptibility over age and sex-dependent association with lifespan

Barbara Monteiro-Black, Mary-Kate Corbally, Julia Aleksandrowicz…·Jennifer C. Regan

This study examines age-related increases in infection susceptibility in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that susceptibility rises early in life and is linked to reduced tolerance rather than resistance, with distinct effects on male lifespan.
