      The bacterial metabolite 2-aminoacetophenone promotes association of pathogenic bacteria with flies 

      Kapsetaki, Stefania Elisavet; Tzelepis, Ilias; Avgousti, Kalodoti; Livadaras, Ioannis; Garantonakis, Nikos G.; Varikou, Kyriaki N.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos (2014)
      Bacteria contaminate insects and secrete metabolites that may affect insect behaviour and potentially fitness through unknown mechanisms. Here we show that the 'grape-like' odorant 2-aminoacetophenone (2AA), secreted by ...

      Developmental biology: Our fly cousins' gut 

      Pitsouli, Chrysoula; Perrimon, N. (2008)
      What do we humans have in common with flies? Quite a lot, at least at the cellular and molecular levels. Our intestine, for instance, is similar to that of the fly, not only in function but also in its development and ...

      Homeostatic interplay between bacterial cell-cell signaling and iron in virulence 

      Hazan, R.; He, J.; Xiao, G.; Dekimpe, V.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Lesic, B.; Astrakas, C.; Déziel, Eric; Lépine, F.; Rahme, L. G. (2010)
      Pathogenic bacteria use interconnected multi-layered regulatory networks, such as quorum sensing (QS) networks to sense and respond to environmental cues and external and internal bacterial cell signals, and thereby adapt ...

      Involvement of skeletal muscle gene regulatory network in susceptibility to wound infection following trauma 

      Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Mindrinos, M. N.; Xiao, W.; Tegos, G. P.; Papisov, M. I.; Hamblin, M. R.; Davis, R. W.; Tompkins, R. G.; Rahme, L. G. (2007)
      Despite recent advances in our understanding the pathophysiology of trauma, the basis of the predisposition of trauma patients to infection remains unclear. A Drosophila melanogaster/Pseudomonas aeruginosa injury and ...

      Neural hyperplasia induced by RNA interference with m4/mα gene activity 

      Nagel, A. C.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Wech, I.; Maier, D.; Delidakis, Christos; Preiss, A. (2000)
      The E(spl) complex (E(spl)-C) contains three different classes of genes that are downstream of Notch signaling. The bHLH genes mediate the Notch signal by repressing proneural gene activity, for example during the ...
