The Drosophila cytokine, GBP: A model that illuminates the yin-yang of inflammation and longevity in humans? Cytokine. 2018 Feb 15;: Authors: Shears SB, Hayakawa Y Abstract Our laboratories have determined that the Drosophila cytokine, Growth-blocking peptide (GBP), mediates its biological effects through the Mthl10 G-protein coupled receptor. In this Cytokine Stimulus, we discuss the functional plasticity of the GBP/Mthl10 axis, and we propose that conserved components of this regulatory network may be relevant to human health.
