Regulatory Mechanisms of Cell Polyploidy in Insects
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Polyploidy cells undergo the endocycle to generate DNA amplification without cell division and have important biological functions in growth, development, reproduction, immune response, nutrient support, and conferring resistance to DNA damage in animals.

The neuroendocrine stress-response in insects: the history of the development of the concept
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017 The neuroendocrine stress-response is an effective defense mechanism against adverse influences of various nature. This reaction is universal and appears in response to stimuli that are unusual not just for living and habitat of the species, but also for
