ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.Mussels are key macrofoulers targeted by antifouling (AF) strategies, yet few molecular targets have been explored to guide the development of new ecofriendly agents. Here, saturation transfer difference‐nuclear magnetic resonance (STD‐NMR) is used to investigate the interactions between AF compounds and settlement‐related enzymes, namely, tyrosinase ...

Current Overview and Main Challenges of the Use of Galleria mellonella in Biomedical Research
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella have become an increasingly important in vivo model for biomedical research, providing a practical, ethical, and biologically relevant alternative to vertebrate organisms. Its suitability as a model system lies in its low maintenance cost, ease of handling, and ability to survive at both ...

Immune system challenge in a host-parasitoid-pathogen system: interaction between Cotesia plutellae (Hym.: Braconidae) and Bacillus thuringiensis influences parasitism and phenoloxidase cascade of Plutella xylostella (Lep.: Plutellidae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2011 We investigated the effects of interaction between Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov) and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner on parasitism and an immune effector (phenoloxidase activity) of a Bt-susceptible and a Bt-resistant population of Plutella xylostella ...

Role and Importance of Phenoloxidase in Insect Hemostasis [PDF]
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2010 In response to microbial infection, insects mount several defense reactions including the induction of proteolytic cascades that lead to localized melanization and coagulation. Melanization requires the activation of prophenoloxidase (proPO) to its active form phenoloxidase (PO), a key enzyme that leads to the formation of melanin at wound sites and ...

Effects Elecitors on Prophenonoloxidase and Superoxide Anion Activities of Freshwater Prawn, Macrobrachium malcolmsonii [PDF]
, 2005 The prophenoloxidase and superoxide anion activity of haemocyte lysate supernatant (HLS) from Indian River Prawn (Macrobrachium malcolmsonii) were examined by treating HLS with various factors such as an increase in temperature from 25 to 60 C and ...

The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

Bacterial Infection Increases Reproductive Investment in Burying Beetles
Insects, 2015 The Nicrophorus genus lives and breeds in a microbe rich environment. As such, it would be expected that strategies should be in place to counter potentially negative effects of the microbes common to this environment. In this study, we show the response

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition (Q10) governs the fate of soil carbon under global warming. Although erosion redistributes soil carbon at scales comparable to the terrestrial carbon sink, how erosion reshapes Q10 across large regional scales remains elusive.
