Microbes, toxins and chemicals such as pesticides are harmful agents that could attack the gastrointestinal tract throughout organismal life. This triggers a rapid renewing of damaged intestinal cells to sustain a functional barrier to limit the risk of developing pathologies. The repair process involves a transient proliferation of intestinal...

The digestive tract is the first organ affected by the ingestion of foodborne bacteria. While commensal bacteria become resident, opportunistic or virulent bacteria are eliminated from the gut by the local innate immune system. Here we characterize a new mechanism of defense, independent of the immune system, in Drosophila melanogaster. We...

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki ( Btk ) is a strong pathogen toward lepidopteran larvae thanks to specific Cry toxins causing leaky gut phenotypes. Hence, Btk and its toxins are used worldwide as microbial insecticide and in genetically modified crops, respectively, to fight crop pests. However, Btk belongs to the B. cereus group, some...
