PDE4 Inhibition in Dermatologic Disease: Impacts Beyond Inflammation
International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 2038-2048, October 2026.This graphical abstract demonstrates the comprehensive mechanism of PDE4 inhibition in skin physiology. By increasing intracellular cAMP and activating PKA, PDE4 inhibitors exert pleiotropic effects, including immune modulation, pigmentation regulation, barrier enhancement, sensory neuron modulation, and improved wound healing with reduced fibrosis ...

Melanization in response to wounding is ancestral in arthropods and conserved in albino cave species
, 2017 Many species adapted to aphotic subterranean habitats have lost all body pigmentation. Yet, melanization is an important component of wound healing in arthropods. We amputated appendages in a variety of cave-adapted and surface-dwelling arthropods.

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 576-593, October 2026.Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Probing insect backscatter cross section and melanization using kHz optical remote detection system
, 2016 A kHz optical remote sensing system is implemented to determine insect melanization features. This is done by measuring the backscatter signal in the visible and near-infrared (VISNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) in situ.

Innate humoral immune defences in mammals and insects: The same, with differences ?
Virulence, 2018 The insect immune response demonstrates many similarities to the innate immune response of mammals and a wide range of insects is now employed to assess the virulence of pathogens and produce results comparable to those obtained using mammals.
