Resistance to BmNPV via overexpression of an exogenous gene controlled by an inducible promoter and enhancer in transgenic silkworm, Bombyx mori.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The hycu-ep32 gene of Hyphantria cunea NPV can inhibit Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) multiplication in co-infected cells, but it is not known whether the overexpression of the hycu-ep32 gene has an antiviral effect in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.

Enrichment of Gluten‐Free Fresh Pasta With Cricket Flour: Technological and Nutritional Quality

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Gluten‐free fresh pasta was formulated with increasing levels of Acheta domesticus flour (0%–10%). Nutritional composition, cooking performance, color, texture, and in vitro digestibility were evaluated. Consumer perception revealed acceptable sensory quality up to 5.8% inclusion, highlighting cricket flour as a promising ingredient for protein ...

Comparative study of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus replication in larval cell lines of Bombyx mori

, 2022
ABSTRACT A four new cell lines viz., Bm-1, Bm-12 Bm-16, Bm-17 and Bm -5 is a worldwide used cell line are tested for BmNPV (Bombyx mori nuclepolyhdedrovirus) susceptibility and its replication The BmNPV was serially passaged in the Bm-12, Bm-1, Bm-16, Bm-17 and Bm-5 cell lines for five times. All the cell lines were found susceptible to BmNPV infection

HvarAKR1B1‐mediated tolerance in Hippodamia variegata: Deciphering the metabolic adaptation and fitness costs under prolonged starvation

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7903-7914, August 2026.
Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.
