Crosstalk between gut and brain has long been appreciated in health and disease, and the
gut microbiota is a key player in communication between these two distant organs. Yet, the …

The cellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents an evolutionary ancient
antimicrobial defense system against microorganisms. The NADPH oxidases (NOX), which …

Commensal microbes colonize the gut epithelia of virtually all animals and provide several
benefits to their hosts. Changes in commensal populations can lead to dysbiosis, which is …

Drosophila suzukii Matsumura is an invasive species of vinegar fly that has become a
prominent pest of berries and other soft-skinned fruits. Unlike most other Drosophila species …

Gut microbes play important roles in host physiology; however, the mechanisms underlying
their impact remain poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that microbes not only …

The microbiota of Drosophila melanogaster has a substantial impact on host physiology and
nutrition. Some effects may involve vitamin provisioning, but the relationships between …

The animal foregut is the first tissue to encounter ingested food, bacteria, and viruses. We
characterized the adult Drosophila foregut using transcriptomics to better understand how it …

Resilience to short-term perturbations, like inflammation, is a fundamental feature of
microbiota, yet the underlying mechanisms of microbiota resilience are incompletely …

The gut epithelia of virtually all animals harbor complex microbial communities that play an
important role in maintaining immune and cellular homeostasis. Gut microbiota have …

The gut is the primary interface between an animal and food, but how it adapts to qualitative
dietary variation is poorly defined. We find that the Drosophila midgut plastically resizes …
