Pvr and Pvf2 Are Essential for Valve Cell Differentiation in the Larval Drosophila Heart. [PDF]

open access: yesGenesis
ABSTRACT The directionality of blood flow is regulated by heart valves, among other things. While the heart valves in vertebrates are multicellular and complex, the valve in the Drosophila heart consists of exactly two highly specialized cells. They arise during early larval development from two cardiomyocytes, those that form the boundary between the ...

The Biochemistry of Insect Hemolymph [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 1961
α,α-Trehalose, a sugar previously regarded as a product characteristic of certain lower plants, has been identified as a major blood sugar of insects. Trehalose has been isolated in pure form from the blood of pupae of the silk moth, Telea polyphemus , and has been recognized chromatographically in all the insects examined, which comprise 10 species ...

Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Functional Assays Underline the Dual Role of Extrapallial Hemocytes in Immunity and Biomineralization in the Hard Clam Mercenaria mercenaria

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Circulating hemocytes in the hemolymph represent the backbone of innate immunity in bivalves. Hemocytes are also found in the extrapallial fluid (EPF), the space delimited between the shell and the mantle, which is the site of shell biomineralization ...

Transport of lipids in insects

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1974
Many insect species are almost completely dependent on lipids for their metabolic needs, although this is usually a function of developmental stage. The primary storage organ is the fat body, which can constitute 50% of the fresh weight of the insect and

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.
