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: 10.1016/j.micpath.2021.104742
Abstract: Insect parasitic nematodes have developed a mechanism to escape from the cellular immunity of their insect hosts for successful parasitism. However, the detailed mechanism whereby they achieve this remains unclear. In our previous study, we… read more here.
