Drosophila melanogaster is well-established model organism and has provided invaluable insights into the mechanisms of cell death. These insights have significant implications for understanding human disease pathogenesis and developing therapeutic interventions. In this Research Topic, we aim to explore the role of cell death in Drosophila disease models, shedding light on its contributions to disease progression and its potential as a target for therapeutic strategies.
This Research Topic highly welcomes original research articles, review manuscripts and methods articles covering, but not restricted to:
- Drosophila as a disease model for the role of cell death in metabolic diseases, including diabetes and obesity.
- Drosophila as a disease model for infectious diseases where pathogens induce cell death and the development of potential interventions
- Drosophila as a model for cell death and cancer
- Drosophila as a model for neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease
This Topic has been inspired by Frontiers in Cell Death's Sponsorship of the European Drosophila Research Conference 2023.
Keywords:
Drosophila, Drosophila melanogaster, European Drosophila Research Conference
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
