Insect immune priming refers to the phenomenon whereby an initial exposure to a pathogen enhances the innate immune response upon subsequent encounters. Unlike the adaptive immunity of vertebrates, ...
Insect immunity may display hitherto unsuspected molecular complexity. Researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston investigated whether Dscam – a gene made famous by its prolific alternative ...
In response to invading microorganisms, insect β-1,3-glucan recognition protein (βGRP), a soluble receptor in the hemolymph, binds to the surfaces of bacteria and fungi and activates serine protease ...
A new review by Dr. Ruyuan Wang and an international team of researchers explores the complex interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems, shedding light on regulatory mechanisms in ...
The role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells
In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...
A fungal infection has been shown to trigger a fruit fly's own immune system to destroy brain cells leading to signs of neurodegeneration, a new study has found. A fungal infection has been shown to ...
