Activation of Toll and IMD pathways in the <i>Drosophila</i> brain following local and systemic bacterial infection

2025-10-20

Abstract excerpt

Brain infections are often life-threatening and have been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable experimental model to study immunity and the pathophysiology of brain infections. The exact cellular pathways through which brain-specific immune responses are mounted in Drosophila , however, remain poorly characterized. Here, we investigated how...
