A continuous-exchange cell-free protein synthesis system based on extracts from cultured insect cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In this study, we present a novel technique for the synthesis of complex prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins by using a continuous-exchange cell-free (CECF) protein synthesis system based on extracts from cultured insect cells.

Insect protein concentrates from Mexican edible insects: Structural and functional characterization
LWT, 2021 Abstract Industrial valorization of proteins from traditional edible insects requires knowledge of their nutritional, chemical, technological characteristics. Therefore, these characteristics in two Mexican edible insects (A. cordifera and B. mellifica) were studied and compared to commercial insect species (H. illucens).

The 40-Year Mystery of Insect Odorant-Binding Proteins
Biomolecules, 2021 The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in chemoreception.
