Extracellular proteolytic enzymes produced by human pathogenic Vibrio species
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Bacteria in the genus Vibrio produce extracellular proteolytic enzymes to obtain nutrients via digestion of various protein substrates. However, the enzymes secreted by human pathogenic species have been documented to modulate the bacterial virulence ...

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 ...

The Japanese Macaque as a Diabetes Recipient Animal Model for Porcine Islet Xenotransplantation
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.Porcine islet xenotransplantation is effective for severe diabetes; however, preclinical studies are essential. In this study, we evaluated the suitability of the Japanese macaque as a recipient model for islet xenotransplantation, including identifying the preferred method to induce diabetes.

High-resolution mass spectrometry driven discovery of peptidic danger signals in insect immunity.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The 'danger model' is an alternative concept for immune response postulating that the immune system reacts to entities that do damage (danger associated molecular patterns, DAMP) and not only to entities that are foreign (pathogen-associated molecular ...
