Signaling pathways in the activation and proliferation of Drosophila melanogaster blood cells

The larva of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model to study the molecular control of innate cellular immune responses. Cellular responses take place, and can be studied, following infestation of the wasp Leptopilina boulardi. This response includes proliferation and activation...
