Research Abstract

In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of homeostatic inflammation focusing on three items (1) new receptor, Gyc76C, and its endogenous ligand, (2) pathogen sensor, PGRP-LE,-dependent induction of homeostatic inflammation, and (3) PGRP-LE-dependent autophagy induction, using Drosophila as a model system.
