Nephrocytes are part of the spectrum of filtration epithelial diversity [PDF]

Cell and Tissue Research, 2020
AbstractThe excretory system produces urine by ultrafiltration via a filtration epithelium. Podocytes are widely found as filtration epithelial cells in eucoelomates. In some animal taxa, including insects and crustaceans, nephrocytes serve to separate toxic substances from the body fluid, in addition to podocytes.

DataSheet1_Identification of Bipotential Blood Cell/Nephrocyte Progenitors in Drosophila: Another Route for Generating Blood Progenitors.pdf [PDF]

, 2022
The Drosophila lymph gland is the larval hematopoietic organ and is aligned along the anterior part of the cardiovascular system, composed of cardiac cells, that form the cardiac tube and its associated pericardial cells or nephrocytes.

The Drosophila Nephrocyte [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2013
Drosophila nephrocytes have been an object of study for more than a century. They were named by Bruntz, based on observations of cells around the heart, the central nervous system, and in the sternal area in scorpions.[1][1] Kowalevsky suggested that they function as a storage kidney, because ...

Dysfunction of Mitochondrial Dynamics in Drosophila Model of Diabetic Nephropathy

Life, 2021
Although mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), its mechanisms are poorly understood, and it remains debatable whether mitochondrial morphological change is a cause of DN. In this study,

Peptide‐Enabled Thrombus‐Targeting Nanoparticles for Highly Effective Targeted CT Imaging and Eradication of Thrombi

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 33, Issue 41, October 9, 2023., 2023
A thrombus‐targeting peptide derived from phage display is conjugated onto silica‐coated bismuth‐cored nanoparticles, which are then loaded with a chemotherapeutic drug. Under the guidance of the peptide, they can selectively target and bind to the thrombus. They effectively combat the thrombus by photothermal and chemo‐therapy.

Linking Basement Membrane and Slit Diaphragm in Drosophila Nephrocytes. [PDF]

J Am Soc Nephrol
Key Points Drosophila nephrocytes feature a special basement membrane that may serve to model joint function of the glomerular filtration barrier.Silencing of Drosophila laminin and collagen IV genes reduced the density of slit diaphragms in ...

Tailup expression in Drosophila larval and adult cardiac valve cells

genesis, Volume 61, Issue 1-2, March 2023., 2023
Summary In Drosophila larvae, the direction of blood flow within the heart tube, as well as the diastolic filling of the posterior heart chamber, is regulated by a single cardiac valve. This valve is sufficient to close the heart tube at the junction of the ventricle and the aorta and is formed by only two cells; both are integral parts of the heart ...

Characterization and mode of action analysis of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larva‐derived hemocytes

Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 1071-1095, August 2022., 2022
Graphical Abstract: The first detailed description of circulating hemocyte types of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) by morphological, cytometrical, and functional characteristics reveals three distinct hemocyte types. The most abundant cell type (∼98%) are the plasmatocytes, which appear to be highly variable in their shape and size and are the ...

Store operated calcium entry (SOCE) mediates insect nephrocyte clearance function [PDF]

, 2021
Insect nephrocytes are highly endocytic cells which remove proteins and xenotoxins from circulation (Figure 1). They express evolutionarily conserved ‘slit diaphragms’ at their surface; ultrastructures also expressed by mammalian kidney podocytes ...
