<i>Drosophila</i> Toll links systemic immunity to long-term intestinal function
2018-01-15
Abstract excerpt
The intestine is an organ where immune and metabolic functions are co-ordinated with tissue renewal via progenitor somatic stem cells (PSSCs). How this is achieved is still unclear. We report that in Drosophila , a generalised infection increased PSSC numbers. This was mimicked by expressing a constitutive form of the immune receptor Toll in PSSCs and blocked when Toll was silenced via RNAi. Without infection, ab...
