Insects may possess a hitherto unsuspected molecular complexity in their immune system, comparable to the antibody system of mammals, scientists report online this week in Science. "The number of ...

Insects have developed fascinating immune strategies to cope with pathogens, one of which is known as immune priming. This process allows insects to enhance their immune responses upon subsequent ...

Social insects, such as termites and ants, have developed complex immune systems that allow them to resist and manage diseases within their colonies. This phenomenon, known as social immunity ...

Cells known as haemocytes play an important role in the caterpillar immune system. Like our white blood cells, these help development and growth. Some haemocytes can envelop and destroy tiny microbial ...

The preprint reviews detailed theories regarding the resistance to ICI therapy and how galectin-3 contributes to resistance. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI): Prospects for Galectin-3 Modulation ...

and more specifically we look at the insect immune response to these parasites. The insect immune response is a germ-line encoded response that results in the production of an arsenal of immune ...

Our findings revealed that a novel cyclophilin effector may interact with plant PUB33 to suppress plant immunity and facilitate insect feeding in a PPIase activity-dependent manner.
