In particular, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been established as one of the most important model organisms for cancer research. This model is particularly suitable for live cell imaging and high-throughput drug screening in a large-scale fashion. Thanks to the recent advances in genome editing...
The use of chemical pesticides for insect pest control, often applied without legal supervision, has led to environmental issues such as the death of beneficial insects, parasitoids, and predators, and pesticide residues in the soil [10]. Studies aimed at discovering active compounds from natural ...
There is a lot of evidence of beneficial impacts of H. diminuta infections on the course of autoimmune diseases, especially colitis. This effect is primarily due to the immunomodulatory properties of specific parasite proteins. The accurate identification and characterization of the molecular mechanisms ...
