Curious about how some beetles have evolved to drink, not with their mouths, but with their rectum? Check out our latest Quick Guide in the current issue of Current Biology. In collaboration with Robin Beaven Denholm Lab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our last review: Drosophila TNF/TNFRs: At the crossroad between metabolism, immunity, and tissue homeostasis J. Colombani & D.S. Andersen - FEBS Letters - Wiley Online Library febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/18…

Our preprint on #Obesity-driven #InsulinResistance reveals a muscle-neuronal-fat axis adapting to high-sugar-induced obesity conditions by influencing insulin secretion & sensitivity in #Drosophila. @Halberglab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really excited to share the lab's first Drosophila paper and it's a big one. Check out our preprint shorturl.at/gqrvO where we present the complete neural connectome of an animal circadian clock. 🧵 (1/12)

Our paper with JCS cover out now! - In Drosophila age-related decreased kidney function, due to loss of epithelial barrier integrity and failure of fluid homeostasis, phenocopied by cell-specific knockdown of the essential junctional protein Snakeskin. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

The paper is featured in JCS 'Research Highlights' as, embarrassingly, I am in the First Person 'Interview'. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…. It's been a struggle to get this work out but - Paper/Cover/Highlights - I can't be prouder. HalbergLab Julian Dow

Dornan has left the building....💙🇺🇦 HalbergLab Julian Dow and colleagues find that age-dependent decline in renal function is associated with compromised barrier integrity, which is phenocopied by acute loss of Snakeskin.

Latest from the lab: What are the mechanism by which insects maintain systemic ion and water balance as they interact with their environment? Another great collaboration with Denholm Lab!annualreviews.org/eprint/FXMYNQH…

New paper 🚨 from the lab in collaboration with Jean-Paul Paluzzi lab. Postdoc Jayati Gera's first project from the lab on the discovery of the receptor for the fly anti-diuretic hormone, ITP. Check out the 🧵for more info (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited to share our recent work on gut-to-glia communication linking intestinal inflammation with sleep in #Drosophila! Many thanks to HalbergLab and Andersen and J. Colombani & D.S. Andersen lab! Lundbeckfonden Novo Nordisk Foundation Carlsbergfondet University of Copenhagen Research biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to share our work! Thanks to @NovoNordiskFond and DK Frie Forsk.fond, we unveil how LGR signaling mediates crosstalk between muscle, neuronal, and adipose tissues, protecting against #insulinresistance and offering insights into #Diabetes and #Obesity. nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are thrilled to share that eLife - the journal has now published our "reviewed preprint" on how signaling from the gut to glia connects intestinal inflammation to sleep in #Drosophila! elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… HalbergLab J.

What can insects teach us about hormones and physiology? In our new American Physiological Society review, we highlight how insect models continue to unlock fundamental insights into endocrine signaling and interorgan communication.
