ONGOING PROJECTS

  1. Development of immune cell-specific delivery of RNA in vivo
  2. Changes in immune response in diapauzing Pyrrhocoris apterus
  3. Interaction of immune cells and fat body during metamorphosis in Apis mellifera
  4. Infiltration of macrophages into adipose tissue during stress conditions

COMPLETED PROJECTS

  1. The role of macrophages in nutrient recycling and post-metamorphic maturation
  2. Metabolism of ketone bodies during bacterial infection
  3. Development of antibody-free separation of phagocytes based on magnetic microparticles
  4. Macrophages secrete IMPL2/IGFBP7 to induce energy mobilization during bacterial infection
  5. Development of tools for macrophage-specific delivery of transcription factors
  6. Drosophila macrophages polarize toward aerobic glycolysis during bacterial infection
  7. The role of macrophage-derived IMPL2/IGFBP7 in obese individuals
  8. Inhibition of mevalonate pathway by macrophage-specific delivery of atorvastatin prevents their pro-inflammatory polarisation
