Gustatory-mediated avoidance of bacterial lipopolysaccharides via TRPA1 activation in Drosophila

Gustatory-mediated avoidance of bacterial lipopolysaccharides via TRPA1 activation in Drosophila

Detecting pathogens and mounting immune responses upon infection is crucial for animal health. However, these responses come at a high metabolic price (McKean and Lazzaro, 2011, Kominsky et al., 2010), and avoiding pathogens before infection may be advantageous. The bacterial endotoxins lipopolysacc...
