Autophagy in Tenebrio molitor Immunity: Conserved Antimicrobial Functions in Insect Defenses
31 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
The yellow mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor) has been exploited as an experimental model to unravel the intricacies of cellular and humoral immunity against pathogenic infections. Studies on this insect model have provided valuable insights into the phenotypic plasticity of immune defenses against parasites and pathogens. It has thus been possible to characterize the hemocoelic defenses of T. molitor that rely...
