The insulin receptor substrate Chico regulates antibacterial immune function in Drosophila

BACKGROUND: Molecular and genetic studies in model organisms have recently revealed a dynamic interplay between immunity and ageing mechanisms. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, inhibition of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway prolongs lifespan, and mutations in the ins...
