Steroid hormone signaling is essential to regulate innate immune cells and fight bacterial infection in Drosophila.
Coupling immunity and development is essential to ensure survival despite changing internal conditions in the organism. Drosophila metamorphosis represents a striking example of drastic and systemic physiological changes that need to be integrated with the innate immune system. However, nothing is k...
