DOI: 10.1002/arch.22130
Abstract: Toll receptors are important regulators of insects' innate immune system which, upon binding of pathogen molecules, activate a conserved signal transduction cascade known as the Toll pathway. RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/arch.70059
Abstract: The low excretory rates of secreted digestive enzymes, such as trypsins, in insect species with peritrophic membranes led to the hypothesis of ectoperitrophic countercurrent water fluxes causing enzyme recycling. The midgut water flux model of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cbin.11404
Abstract: Programmed cell death is involved with the degeneration/remodeling of larval tissues and organs during holometabolous development. The midgut is a model to study the types of programmed cell death associated with metamorphosis because its structure… read more here.
