Delipidation Destresses Drosophila

Immunity. 2020 Feb 18;52(2):215-217. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2020.01.009.

Abstract

Stress responses at an organism level are complex and poorly understood. In this issue of Immunity, Li et al. demonstrate that Drosophila kidney excretes blood lipids to minimize damage by reactive oxygen species and that this function is essential for animal survival.
