Signaling pathways implicated in the cellular innate immune responses of Drosophila
The phylogenetically conserved innate immune systems of insects and other invertebrates employblood cells (hemocytes) that are functionally reminiscent of vertebrate macrophages, attesting to theimportance of phagocytosis and other cell-mediated responses in eliminating various pathogens. Receptorli...
