Identification and Characterization of the Lipid Transport System in the Tarantula Grammostola rosea [PDF]
, 2015 Lipids due to its hydrophobic nature are transported in the hemolymph mainly by lipoproteic fractions. In the present work we studied the lipoproteic fractions present in the hemolymph of the spider Grammostola rosea.

Autophagy occurs upstream or parallel to the apoptosome during histolytic cell death [PDF]
, 2006 Histolysis refers to a widespread disintegration of tissues that is morphologically distinct from apoptosis and often associated with the stimulation of autophagy. Here, we establish that a component of the apoptosome, and pivotal regulator of apoptosis,

In vivo detection of lamellocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
, 2009 Drosophila has recently become a powerful model organism for studies of innate immunity. The cellular elements of innate immunity in Drosophila, the hemocytes, have been characterized by morphological criteria, molecular markers, and cell-type-specific ...
