Cellular immunity and pathogen strategies in combative interactions involving Drosophila hosts and their endoparasitic wasps [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2010 Various cellular innate immune responses protect invertebrates from attack by eukaryotic pathogens. In insects, assessments of the factor(s) causing, or contributing to, pathogen mortality have long considered as toxic components certain molecules ...

Immune Regulation of
mBio, 2017 Malaria parasite ookinetes must traverse the vector mosquito midgut epithelium to transform into sporozoite-producing oocysts. The Anopheles innate immune system is a key regulator of this process, thereby determining vector competence and disease ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...
