It is becoming clear that sterile innate immune activation and inflammation induced by cancer and tissue damage negatively affect the adaptive mechanisms of the organism. However, the mechanism of induction of non-infectious inflammation is not yet fully understood. I will screen for Drosophila individuals exhibiting auto-inflammation as a genetic disease using Drosophila with an evolutionarily conserved innate immune system. The aim of the study is to identify auto-inflammation and its causative genes that contribute to the development of cancer.
