Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Immunocyte migration to infection sites is important for host cellular defense, but the main types of migrating hemocytes and their mechanisms against pathogen invasions are unclear in invertebrates. In the present study, a population of hemocytes in the

iScience, 2022 Summary Crustaceans constitute a species-rich and ecologically important animal group, and their circulating blood cells (hemocytes) are of critical importance in immunity as key players in pathogen recognition, phagocytosis, melanization, and ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 In this work we studied the ability of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) to transfer benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) to mussel hemocytes and to produce toxic effects in vitro.

NO Synthesis in Immune-Challenged Locust Hemocytes and Potential Signaling to the CNS
Insects, 2021 Similar to vertebrates, insects are exposed to a broad variety of pathogens. The innate insect immune system provides several response mechanisms such as phagocytosis, melanization, and the synthesis of antimicrobial or cytotoxic compounds. The cytotoxic

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 DM9 refers to an uncharacterized protein domain that is originally discovered in Drosophila melanogaster. Two proteins with DM9 repeats have been recently identified from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas as mannose-specific binding pattern-recognition ...

Drosophila embryonic hemocytes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 What are they? Drosophila embryonic hemocytes are the highly motile macrophages that represent the main cellular arm of the innate immune system in this organism. These cells are specified during embryonic development and persist through larval stages to adulthood.

Reactive oxygen species in unstimulated hemocytes of the pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas: a mitochondrial involvement. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is a sessile bivalve mollusc whose homeostasis relies, at least partially, upon cells circulating in hemolymph and referred to as hemocytes.

Hemocyte-Mediated Phagocytosis in Crustaceans [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Phagocytosis is an ancient, highly conserved process in all multicellular organisms, through which the host can protect itself against invading microorganisms and environmental particles, as well as remove self-apoptotic cells/cell debris to maintain tissue homeostasis.

Viruses, 2023 Hemocytes are essential components of the immune system against invading pathogens in shrimp. Many uncharacterized transcripts exist in hemocytes but the knowledge of them is very limited.

Mosquito hemocyte-mediated immune responses [PDF]
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2014 Hemocytes are a key component of the mosquito immune system that kill pathogens via phagocytic, lytic and melanization pathways. Individual mosquitoes contain between 500 and 4,000 hemocytes, which are divided into three populations named granulocytes, oenocytoids and prohemocytes.
