Not all bacteria are beneficial in every context.
We found that enriching Drosophila with a commensal bacterium reduces tolerance to viral infection. The effect was virus-specific and occurred without changes in viral load, immune gene expression or intestinal damage.

Kicking off 2026 the best way we know how: together! 🥐👑
Our annual Galette des Rois brought the team together, and Mori Yoshida claimed the crown for the 4th year running! 🎉
But the real treasure? These moments that unite us before another year of discovery.
Here's to an incredible 2026! 🔬✨
🔬 Discover the latest advances from Labex IBEID
We have released a new white paper highlighting recent scientific and technological advances from the partners.
➡️ Key results
➡️ Latest innovations

🧠⏰our latest paper is out now: how each neuron ages differently allowed us to define in silico screens for new therapeutic molecules that could prevent neurodegeneration @cecad.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social @uniklinikkoeln.bsky.social @meyerdh.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

We just uploaded our most recent paper to @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social and submitted the manuscript for publication. We are really excited with this collaboration between our lab (ColladoLab) @cimususc.bsky.social and the lab of @hanli-pasteur.bsky.social @pasteur.fr
🧵 New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social
We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked
What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective
We call it the digital sphinx

If you want to help, you can share our story, check out our work at viralemergence.org, and - if you're the one in a million person who can save our project - reach out. (At this point, my job is to fundraise for the amazing scientists I work with, so they can focus on doing some actual science! 🦠)
The conference is quickly filling up! Don't wait to sign up. We also received some funding and can offer fellowships to graduate students and postdocs. Won't cover the whole cost but will certainly make it much easier!

Enteric viruses act as age-distorters, with infection severity tied to aging hallmarks and consequences.
Verena is an NSF-funded Institute working towards using open data, biological research, and artificial intelligence to predict and prevent the next pandemic.
Registration is open for the inaugural GRC conference in the Function of Evolving Systems. Aug 9-14, 2026, Waterville Valley. Truly stellar speaker lineup. Student/postdoc fellowships are available! Please come join us! www.grc.org/function-of-... @joybergelson.bsky.social
Gallrein et al. pair functional assays with clocks to compare chronological versus biological age of single neuron types in C. elegans, to probe their vulnerability or resilience to neurodegeneration,...
Version 2 is out! More comprehensive text plus new tissue- and pathway-specific analysis revealing how different viruses trigger systemic aging through diverse mechanisms.

Excited to finally announce this work which has been in the pipeline for 5 years: Layers of Immunity.
Faustine et al. made a set of immune mutants covering 4 major immune modules in #Drosophila, deleting melanization (ROS), phagocytosis, and both Toll & Imd NF-kB responses. What did we find?
