In a bid to understand why mosquitoes may be more attracted to one human than another, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have mapped specialized receptors on the insects' nerve cells that ...

Researchers have proposed a new model for the evolution of higher brain functions and behaviors in the Hymenoptera order of insects. The team compared the Kenyon cells, a type of neuronal cell, in the ...

Insect symbiosis with endosymbiotic bacteria represents a fundamental biological association that shapes insect ecology, evolution and adaptability. Across a diverse range of insect taxa, mutualistic ...

The study of insect cell culture has become a cornerstone of modern virology and biotechnology. With the ability to cultivate cells from a variety of insect species under controlled laboratory ...

In a bid to understand why mosquitoes may be more attracted to one human than another, researchers say they have mapped specialized receptors on the insects' nerve cells that are able to fine-tune ...

Proteins are the fundamental building blocks of life, and they are the essential products of molecular biology’s core dogma. Proteins play a variety of roles in the body, including catalyzing ...

Recombinant proteins are fundamental to the study and development of biologics. A baculovirus-insect cell system is an excellent choice for the expression of complicated intracellular and viral ...
