Cell Cycle-Dependent Flagellar Disassembly in a Firebug Trypanosomatid
mBio, 2019 Current understanding of flagellum/cilium length regulation focuses on a few model organisms with flagella of uniform length. Leptomonas pyrrhocoris is a monoxenous trypanosomatid parasite of firebugs. When cultivated in vitro, L.

A quantitative study of adipokinetic hormone of the firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus [PDF]
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2002 The development of an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for the adipokinetic neuropeptide hormone, Pya-AKH, from the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus L. is described. The ELISA measures as little as 20 fmol of Pya-AKH.

Adipokinetic Hormones Enhance the Efficacy of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Isaria fumosorosea in Model and Pest Insects [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Insect adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are neuropeptides with a wide range of actions, including the control of insect energy metabolism. These hormones are also known to be involved in the insect defence system against toxins and pathogens.

A validated HPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of ecdysteroid hormones in subminimal amounts of biological material [PDF]
Journal of Lipid ResearchEcdysteroids represent a large class of polyhydroxylated steroids which, due to their anabolic properties, are marketed as dietary supplements. Some ecdysteroids also act as important hormones in arthropods, where they regulate molting, development, and ...

Platelets: Inflammatory Firebugs of Vascular Walls [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2008 Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Platelets can “inflame” the vascular wall by various mechanisms and thereby initiate and support the development of atherosclerosis. Platelet interaction with leukocytes, endothelial cells, and circulating progenitor cells triggers autocrine and paracrine activation processes, leading to inflammatory and ...
