Innate immune responses of Drosophila melanogaster are altered by spaceflight.

Innate immune responses of Drosophila melanogaster are altered by spaceflight.

Alterations and impairment of immune responses in humans present a health risk for space exploration missions. The molecular mechanisms underpinning innate immune defense can be confounded by the complexity of the acquired immune system of humans. Drosophila (fruit fly) innate immunity is simpler, a...
