Insect antimicrobial peptides: potential tools for the prevention of skin cancer. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2016; 100: 7397-7405. doi: 10.1007/s00253-016-7718-y PMID: 27418360M. Tonk, A. Vilcinskas, M. Rahnama
Most active AMPs are small peptides of 20-50 residues, which are generated from larger inactive precursor proteins or pro-proteins, but gloverins (~14 kDa) and attacins (~20 kDa) are large antimicrobial proteins. In this mini-review, we will discuss current knowledge and recent progress in...

and function asphagocytesby engulfing pathogens or apoptotic cells. The humoral immune response is mainly characterized by the production ofantimicrobial peptides(AMPs) by the insect fat body in response to bacterial andfungal infectionsbut certain septic infections can trigger the hemocytes to produce...
The proteins were identified from at least one peptide and with an X!tandem [15] score corresponding to an expected value of better than 0.05. We performed BLASTP against the Antimicrobial Peptide Database (APD) [16] to identify AMPs from the anal droplet. For identification of other enzymes...
The antibiotic resistance crisis has prompted research into alternative candidates such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). However, the demand for such molecules can only be met by continuous production processes, which achieve high product yields and offer compatibility with the Quality-by-Design initiat...
A major roadblock towards the realisation of a circular economy are the lack of high-value products that can be generated from waste. Black soldier flies (BSF; Hermetia illucens) are gaining traction for their ability to rapidly consume large quantities

insects represent the largest class of organisms in the animal kingdom. The humoral immune response includes the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are released into the insect hemolymph after microbial infection. In this review, we have focused on insect immune responses, particularly ...
