Immune-priming occurs in insects after a prior pathogen exposure. However, its underlying
mechanism in insects remains elusive. In the present work, immune-priming was detected in …

Lipids of the insect cuticle have important roles in resistance against the arid environment
and invasion of foreign substances. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is an important enzyme of the …

Eicosanoids, a group of C20 oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), mediate
various physiological processes, such as immunity, reproduction, excretion, and metabolism …

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyzes hydrolysis of phospholipids at sn-2 position and usually
releases arachidonic acid, which is oxygenated into various eicosanoids that mediate innate …

This review considers the role of different classes of lipids in fungal morphogenesis and, in
particular, their capacity to induce dimorphic growth (the ability of fungi to grow in a mycelial …

In the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the expression of two fat body genes involved in lipid
metabolism, a lipid carrier protein lipophorin (Lp) and its lipophorin receptor (LpRfb), was …

The cell membrane forms a fundamental part of all living cells and participates in a variety of
physiological processes, such as material exchange, stress response, cell recognition …

The fat body plays major roles in the life of insects. It is a dynamic tissue involved in multiple
metabolic functions. One of these functions is to store and release energy in response to the …

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of lipid signaling molecules in the
development and pathogenicity of clinically important fungi. In Cryptococcus neoformans …

Lipid-mediated inter-kingdom signaling in plant-fungal interactions is the exchange of
molecules between plants and fungal pathogens and symbiotes. Recently these interactions …
