Distinct Melanization Pathways in the Mosquito Aedes aegypti
, 2010 SummarySerine protease cascades are involved in blood coagulation and immunity. In arthropods, they regulate melanization, which plays an important role in immune defense and wound healing. However, the mechanisms underlying melanization pathways are not

Growth conditions influence melanization of Brazilian clinical Sporothrix schenckii isolates
, 2009 16 p. : il.Sporothrix schenckii is known to produce DHN melanin on both conidial and yeast cells, however little information is available regarding the factors inducing fungal melanization.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study addresses the rapid renal clearance of anti‐HER2 nanobodies by developing specialized liposomal carriers. It details the formulation of dual modified liposomes, demonstrating how PEGylation preserves structural integrity and cell‐penetrating peptides enhance cellular interaction.

The Melan and Mindlin Problems
, 2013 This chapter is devoted to solve the equilibrium problem of a linearly elastic isotropic half-space, subject to a load concentrated at an interior point. The two-dimensional version is named after Ernst Melan (1890–1963), who solved it in 1932; the three-dimensional version was studied and solved in 1936 by Raymond D.

Molecular Evolution and Developmental Expression of Melanin Pathway Genes in Lepidoptera
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Pigmentation is involved in a wide array of biological functions across insect orders, including body patterning, thermoregulation, and immunity. The melanin pathway, in particular, has been characterized in several species.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Quantification of Disseminated Melanization in Infected Flies
, 2013 Male and female 5- to 7-d-old w1118 and CG3066 mutants were infected with the microbes listed in Table 1 or with medium and examined for disseminated melanization throughout the course of infections with L. monocytogenes, S. typhimurium, S.
