Melanization in response to wounding is ancestral in arthropods and conserved in albino cave species [PDF]
, 2018 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.

Hidden Fungal DNA Structures May Shape Sequencing Outcomes
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2026.Sequencing fungal DNA presents numerous challenges, and unexplored structural anomalies may be a contributor. Native ONT sequencing allows artefacts of disrupted pore translocation to be interrogated, facilitating mapping to genomic loci using raw signal analyses. Subsequent visualization tools could reveal novel genome architectures and drive advances

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.

Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Prophenoloxidase activation is required for survival to microbial infections in Drosophila.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 The melanization reaction is a major immune response in Arthropods and involves the rapid synthesis of melanin at the site of infection and injury. A key enzyme in the melanization process is phenoloxidase (PO), which catalyzes the oxidation of phenols ...
