To elucidate the function of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) during B-cell differentiation we employ CD23Cre-driven expression of the dominant-negative K320E mutant of the mitochondrial helicase Twinkle (DNT). DNT-expression depletes mitochondrial DNA during B cell maturation, reduces the abun...
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in insect immune priming, inducing memory-like response that functionally resembles adaptive immunity confined to vertebrates. While gut microbiota mediates systemic immune activation in insect hemolymph, the mechanisms underlying remote immunoregulation re...
