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.

Nanoplastics: From tissue accumulation to cell translocation into Mytilus galloprovincialis hemocytes. resilience of immune cells exposed to nanoplastics and nanoplastics plus Vibrio splendidus combination [PDF]
, 2020 Plastic litter is an issue of global concern. In this work Mytilus galloprovincialis was used to study the distribution and effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs) of different sizes (50 nm, 100 nm and 1 mu m) on immune cells.

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.

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.

Glabralysins, potential New β-pore-forming toxin family members from the schistosomiasis vector snail biomphalaria glabrata [PDF]
, 2020 Biomphalaria glabrata is a freshwater Planorbidae snail. In its environment, this mollusk faces numerous microorganisms or pathogens, and has developed sophisticated innate immune mechanisms to survive.

Definition of Drosophila hemocyte subsets by cell-type specific antigens. [PDF]
, 2007 We analyzed the heterogeneity of Drosophila hemocytes on the basis of the expression of cell-type specific antigens. The antigens characterize distinct subsets which partially overlap with those defined by morphological criteria.

Crayfish hemocytes develop along the granular cell lineage
Scientific Reports, 2021 Despite the central role of hemocytes in crustacean immunity, the process of hemocyte differentiation and maturation remains unclear. In some decapods, it has been proposed that the two main types of hemocytes, granular cells (GCs) and semigranular cells
