The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum.

Stephen Richards, +190 more
- 24 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomimetic proteolipid vesicles for targeting inflamed tissues

TL;DR: A method is described that leverages the advantages of bottom-up and top-down strategies to incorporate proteins derived from the leukocyte plasma membrane into lipid nanoparticles that retained the versatility and physicochemical properties typical of liposomal formulations and enabled the selective and effective delivery of dexamethasone to inflamed tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomic analysis of the Tribolium immune system

TL;DR: A framework of information on Tribolium immunity is established, which may serve as a stepping stone for future genetic analyses of defense responses in a nondrosophiline genetic model insect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of the reactive compounds generated in vitro by Manduca sexta phenoloxidase

TL;DR: The results established that prophenoloxidase activation is an integral component of the insect defense system involving a multitude of enzymes, which immobilizes and kills invading microorganisms.
