ABSTRACT Immune signals coordinate the repair of damaged epithelia by intestinal stem cells. However, it is unclear if immune pathways act autonomously within cell to direct damage response pathway. We consider this an important question, as dynamics are essential for formation and maintenance entire epithelium. used Drosophila determine impact cell-specific loss NF-κB on tissue regeneration upon chemical injury. found that enhanced death, impaired enterocyte renewal increased mortality. Mechanistically, we showed inhibition apoptosis NF-κB-dependent viability repair. Combined, our data demonstrate cell-intrinsic activity orderly epithelia.

Microbiome research has expanded significantly in the last two decades, yet translating findings into clinical applications remains challenging. This perspective discusses persistent issue of correlational studies microbiome and proposes an iterative method leveraging silico, vitro, ex vivo, vivo toward successful preclinical trials. The evolution methodologies, including shift from small cohort to large-scale, multi-cohort, even "meta-cohort" analyses, been facilitated by advancements sequencing technologies, providing researchers with tools examine multiple health phenotypes within a single study. integration multi-omics approaches-such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, metabolomics-provides comprehensive understanding host-microbe interactions serves robust hypothesis generator for downstream vitro research. These hypotheses must then be rigorously tested, first proof-of-concept experiments clarify causative effects microbiota, goal deep mechanistic understanding. Only following these phases can conducted translation clinic. We highlight importance combining traditional microbiological techniques big-data approaches, underscoring necessity diverse model systems enhance translational potential

The insect microbiome is comprised of extracellular microbial communities that colonize the host surfaces and endosymbionts reside inside cells tissues. Both these participate in essential aspects biology, including immune response interactions with pathogens. In recent years, our knowledge about role infection has increased tremendously. While many studies have highlighted microbiome's protective effect against various natural enemies insects, unexpected discoveries shown some members microbiota can facilitate pathogenic infections. Here, we summarize fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, substantially progressed understanding host-pathogen-microbiome during infection. We on mechanisms gut microbiota, highlight examples exploitation by pathogens, detail endosymbiont-mediated protection. addition, delve into a previously neglected topic research-the crosstalk between microbiota. Finally, address how remain resilient to responses stably By examining influenced reciprocally affects outcomes, this review provides timely cohesive coverage roles

Bacterial infections are a major threat to public health. Pathogen host shifts—where pathogen jumps from one species another—are important sources of emerging infectious diseases. However, compared with viruses, we know relatively little about the factors that determine whether bacteria can infect novel host, such as how phylogenetics constrains variation in range and link between phylogeny infectivity virulence pathogen. Here, experimentally examined susceptibility bacterial using panel 36 Drosophilidae four pathogens ( Providencia rettgeri , Pseudomonas entomophila Enterococcus faecalis Staphylococcus aureus ). The outcomes infection differed greatly among across species. explains considerable amount susceptibility, greatest phylogenetic signal for P. infection, explaining 94% mortality. Positive correlations were observed mortality load three out pathogens. Correlations positive but largely non-significant, suggesting is mostly pathogen-specific. These results suggest may be predicted by phylogeny, effect vary magnitude different bacteria.

ABSTRACT Geographic and environmental variation in the animal microbiota can be directly linked to evolution wild fitness of their hosts but often appears disordered. Here, we sought better understand patterns that underlie composition Drosophila melanogaster . First, temperature predicted geographic fly microbial communities than latitude did. The also differed between flies diets, supporting previous conclusions is not merely a reflection diet. Flies feeding on different diets varied significantly composition, sampled from individual apples were exceptionally depauperate for Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), major bacterial group laboratory flies. However, bore more LAB when other fruits or compost piles. Follow-up analyses revealed abundance uniquely responds fruit decomposition, whereas members indicate temporal seasonal progression. Finally, show diet-dependent associated with phenotypic differentiation lines collected single orchard. These last findings link covariation flies’ dietary history, genetic across relatively small (single-orchard) landscapes, reinforcing critical role environment-dependent play local adaptation genomic model host. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT animals influence hosts’ fitness, it hard predict explain how varies animals. describe ordered by temperature, humidity, distance, diet type. We these determinants help lactic acid bacteria (LAB) flies, including rarity some studies. phenotypes segregate illuminating links host evolution. Together, compositions shape an animal’s life history.

The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (L. 1758), is an omnivorous saprophagous insect with a high potential for valorizing organic by-products rich in carbohydrates. Among carbohydrates, H. relies on soluble sugars the growth and storage lipid synthesis. This study aimed to assess impact of common development, survival, fatty acid composition illucens. Monosaccharides disaccharides were individually incorporated into chicken feed diet. Cellulose was used as control. Larvae fed glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose grew faster than control larvae. In contrast, lactose exhibited anti-nutritional effects larvae, slowing down reducing final individual weight. However, all produced larvae fatter Notably, tested shaped profile. Maltose sucrose increased saturated content compared cellulose. Conversely, bioaccumulation dietary unsaturated acids. first demonstrate effect profile Our findings highlight that carbohydrates have significant fly can thus determine their applications.
