Curr Res Insect Sci
. 2025 Mar;
7:100108.
PMID: 40083348
PIWI-interacting (pi) RNAs play an essential role in protecting the genomic integrity of germ cells from the disruptive transpositions of selfish genetic elements. One of the most important model systems...

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
. 2025 Jan;
118(1):e70028.
PMID: 39835498
The discovery that infections of viruses are pervasive among insects has considerable potential for future applications, such as new strategies for pest control through the manipulation of virus-host interactions. However,...

J Insect Physiol
. 2025 Jan;
161:104749.
PMID: 39814333
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a tool in functional gene study and pest control. However, RNAi efficiency in Lepidoptera is low compared to the RNAi sensitive Coleoptera....

Insects
. 2025 Jan;
15(12.
PMID: 39769607
Toll receptors play important roles in the development and innate immunity of insects. Previously, we reported the immunological function of in silkworm, , larvae. In this study, we focused on...

Liu J, Yang W, Liao W, Huang Y, Chen W, Bu X, et al.
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
. 2024 Aug;
116(4):e22130.
PMID: 39118437
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)...

Insect Sci
. 2024 Apr;
32(1):151-171.
PMID: 38571329
The silkworm, a crucial model organism of the Lepidoptera, offers an excellent platform for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the innate immune response of insects toward pathogens. Over the years,...

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
. 2024 Feb;
115(2):e22093.
PMID: 38409870
Toll, immune deficiency and prophenoloxidase cascade represent vital immune signaling pathways in insects. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are innate immune receptors that activate and regulate the immune signaling pathways. Previously,...
