DOI: 10.1002/arch.21780
Abstract: In holometabolous insects, many tissues and organs such as the fat body and midgut undergo a remodeling process during metamorphosis. Larval fat body cells are eliminated by programmed cell death (PCD), while tissue cells that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11046-018-0300-7
Abstract: Galleria mellonella has been described as a cheap and an easy-to-reproduce model for the study of fungal infections. We hypothesized that yeasts with higher virulence potential decrease survival and significantly trigger an immune response in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12011-025-04723-w
Abstract: Silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles are chemically stable, biocompatible, abundant, and inexpensive. Moreover, they are highly surface-reactive. While these properties make them suitable for environmental applications, they also raise questions about their reactivity with environmental contaminants.… read more here.
