Mitochondrial dynamics, infectious or inflammatory conditions, and intestinal regeneration in Drosophila

The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Intestinal Homeostasis
Keywords: H2O2, innate immunity, intestinal homeostasis, Drosophila, signaling

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. However, their overproduction can disrupt this balance and contribute to chronic inflammation. Our research focuses on the generation, function, and regulation of ROS in the intestine, using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism.
