This study investigates Drosophila immune responses to diverse fungal pathogens, identifying the Toll pathway and melanization as key defenses, while highlighting fungal adaptations to evade these mechanisms.

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

This study identifies Paillotin as a novel Drosophila immune peptide regulated by the Imd pathway, showing increased susceptibility to specific infections in mutants.

This study systematically evaluates the roles of four immune modules in Drosophila by deleting them individually and collectively, revealing their independent and synergistic contributions to defense against various pathogens.
