Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

Cellular Uptake and Tissue Retention of Microplastics in Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Insects
Microplastic pollution is a pressing global concern, yet its immunotoxicological impacts on invertebrates remain poorly understood. The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larva has gained attention for its role in waste management and potential ...

Cation concentrations in the hemolymph of Loligo pealei

Biophysical Journal, 1977
Hemolymph and protein-free hemolymph obtained from Loligo pealei were analyzed for cation concentration by the method of atomic absorption spectroscopy, for the following ions: Na+, K+, Ca++, and Mg++. No significant differences were seen in ion concentration between hemolymph and protein-free hemolymph. Of particular neurophysiological significance is

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, regulates reproduction and carbohydrate metabolism without affecting lipid homeostasis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, is highly expressed in pupae and declines in adults. TcFur1 knockdown reduces oviposition but does not alter triacylglycerol levels or total lipase activity. TcFur1 knockdown increases circulating trehalose and decreases expression of insulin‐like peptides and the AKH receptor.

Schematic models to maintain the hemolymph lipid level.

, 2016
(A) For crickets feeding normally, the hemolymph lipid level is maintained by shuttling between HDLp to LDLp; however, the hemolymph lipid level was maintained at similar levels even in GrybiApoLp-III knockdown crickets.

Development of an Artificial Liquid Diet for Allelochemical Delivery in Lycorma delicatula

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula White (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an invasive phloem‐feeding planthopper native to Asia, which poses a growing threat to US agriculture due to its broad host range and rapid spread since its 2014 detection. To better understand how L.

Changes in ecdysteroid titers in the hemolymph.

, 2016
Ecdysteroid titers in the hemolymph of post-diapause pupae (A) and nondiapause pupae (B) were determined by ELISA. The values are the means ±SEM (n = 6).

Efficacy of Ccombody as an Immunoprophylaxis Strategy: Impact on Immune Gene Expression of Pacific White Shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) Against Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is caused by a plasmid bearing strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VpAHPND), which produces PirA and PirB toxins that specifically target and damage hepatopancreatic and epithelial cells of the shrimp gastrointestinal tract.

Evaluation for endotoxin in intraocular materials used during phacoemulsification surgery using a recombinant factor C assay

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 481-485, March 2025.
Abstract Objective Cataract surgery remains the sole method to resolve blindness secondary to cataract formation. One complication includes fibrin web formation post‐operatively. This study aimed to investigate the presence of endotoxin within materials used during cataract surgery as a possible cause of fibrin web phenomenon. Methods Preservative‐free
