Co-option of immune effectors by the hormonal signalling system triggering metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster

Insect metamorphosis is triggered by the production, secretion and degradation of 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone). In addition to its role in developmental regulation, increasing evidence suggests that ecdysone is involved in innate immunity processes, such as phagocytosis and the induction of antimic...
