Do dietary stresses affect the immune system of Periplaneta americana (Blattaria: Blattidae)?

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2019
Stresses can be caused by multiple biotic and abiotic factors and their effects can affect both the biology and the immune system of insects. American cockroach – Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Blattaria: Blattidae) –besides being an excellent ...

The Extracellular Matrix Proteins Pericardin and Lonely Heart Modulate the Directionality of Heart Contractions in Infected Mosquitoes

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 1, September 2026.
Pericardin and Lonely heart, which are components of the cardiac extracellular matrix, influence the direction in which the heart of mosquitoes propels hemolymph (blood). ABSTRACT The cardiac extracellular matrix provides structural support to the primary circulatory organ of an insect: a dorsal vessel that is divided into an aorta in the thorax and a ...

Engulfed pathogen-induced apoptosis in haemocytes of giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

, 2014
Haemocytes of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were investigated for the induction of apoptosis after phagocytosis of pathogenic yeasts, bacteria and non-pathogenic latex beads in vitro. Isolated haemocytes of M.

The Drosophila cell adhesion molecule Neuroglian regulates Lissencephaly-1 localisation in circulating immunosurveillance cells

BMC Immunology, 2009
Background When the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina boulardi lays its eggs in Drosophila larvae phagocytic cells called plasmatocytes and specialized cells known as lamellocytes encapsulate the egg.

Modulating the Gut‐Microbiota‐Brain Axis in Alzheimer's Disease: Therapeutic Potential of Nutritional and Metabolic Factors

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review systematically examines the role of gut microbiota modulation in Alzheimer's disease, focusing on how microbial metabolites and dietary nutrients influence cognitive function and AD pathology, as well as the neuroprotective effects through the gut‐brain axis.

Cellular and humoral immunity in shellfish: foundations for sustainable health management in aquaculture

Frontiers in Aquaculture
Shellfish, including crustaceans and molluscs, inhabit aquatic environments that are densely populated with microorganisms and are therefore continuously exposed to a wide range of potential pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and ...

A Comparison of Juvenile and Adult Sunflower Sea Star Transcriptomic Responses to Challenge With Sea Star Wasting Disease Tissue Homogenates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sunflower sea stars have been hard hit by sea star wasting disease (SSWD), losing over 5 billion individuals along their natural range from Alaska and Southern California. This work uses transcriptomics to investigate the immune response of adult and juvenile sunflower sea stars exposed to SSWD.

In vitro interactions between several species of harmful algae and haemocytes of bivalve molluscs

, 2011
International audienceHarmful algal blooms (HABs) can have both lethal and sublethal impacts on shellfish. To understand the possible roles of haemocytes in bivalve immune responses to HABs and how the algae are affected by these cells (haemocytes), in ...

Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel protein scaffold from the snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.
