Novel origin of lamin-derived cytoplasmic intermediate filaments in tardigrades
eLife, 2016 Intermediate filament (IF) proteins, including nuclear lamins and cytoplasmic IF proteins, are essential cytoskeletal components of bilaterian cells. Despite their important role in protecting tissues against mechanical force, no cytoplasmic IF proteins ...

Co-option of a non-retroviral endogenous viral element in planthoppers
Nature Communications, 2023 Non-retroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) are widely dispersed throughout the genomes of eukaryotes. Although nrEVEs are known to be involved in host antiviral immunity, it remains an open question whether they can be domesticated as functional ...

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Arthropod consumption provides amino acids to invertebrates and vertebrates alike, but not all amino acids in arthropods may be digestible as some are bound in the exoskeleton.

Phylogenetic relationships of the Wolbachia of nematodes and arthropods [PDF]
, 2006 Wolbachia are well known as bacterial symbionts of arthropods, where they are reproductive parasites, but have also been described from nematode hosts, where the symbiotic interaction has features of mutualism.

Wiring a periscope--ocelli, retinula axons, visual neuropils and the ancestrality of sea spiders. [PDF]
, 2012 The Pycnogonida or sea spiders are cryptic, eight-legged arthropods with four median ocelli in a 'periscope' or eye tubercle. In older attempts at reconstructing phylogeny they were Arthropoda incertae sedis, but recent molecular trees placed them as the

A Nod to disease vectors: mitigation of pathogen sensing by arthropod saliva
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Arthropod saliva possesses anti-hemostatic, anesthetic, and anti-inflammatory properties that facilitate feeding and, inadvertently, dissemination of pathogens. Vector-borne diseases caused by these pathogens affect millions of people each year.

Allergy to Hematophagous Arthropod Bites
, 2016 Allergies to hematophagous arthropod bites are inflammatory reactivity to arthropod salivary components. They vary in intensity and quality dependent upon the arthropod specie and the individual immune response to specific proteins of the insect’s saliva.
