Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionBotryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea) is a catastrophic fungal pathogen that threatens fruit production worldwide. Secreted peptidases like serine carboxypeptidases (SCPs) are well known to be involved in fungal virulence, but their role in B.

Carboxypeptidase U, a plasma carboxypeptidase with high affinity for plasminogen.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994 A novel basic carboxypeptidase clearly different from carboxypeptidase N has been isolated from human plasma. It circulates as an enzymatically inactive precursor enzyme bound to plasminogen. During fibrinolysis, it can be converted to its active form, carboxypeptidase U, through the action of plasmin. The active enzyme has an apparent molecular weight

Mast Cells in Host Defense Against Cutaneous Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.Impact of S. aureus epicutaneous sensitization models on mast cell function in vivo. D. farinae and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) activate Trpv1+ Tac1+ nociceptors to trigger the release of substance P (SP), which promotes mast cell degranulation through Mrgprb2. S.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microtubules (MTs) are crucial for cell division, growth, development and morphogenesis in plants. Cotton fibres are single‐celled trichomes that originate from the epidermal cells of the ovule, making them an excellent model for studying plant cell differentiation and rapid elongation.

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2014 The digestive proteolytic profile of Apodiphus amygdali was determined by using several substrates and specific inhibitors. Analysis of optimal pH and temperature showed the highest enzymatic activity at the pH range of 6-7 and temperature of 40°C when ...

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 ...
