The immune system has an impact on the metabolic performance in vertebrates, thus the
metabolic effects of immune cells are receiving intense attention today in the biomedical …

Vitellogenesis in crustaceans is an energy-consuming process. Though the underlying
mechanisms of ovarian maturation in decapod Crustacea are still unclear, evidence …

Arthropod molting and reproduction are precisely controlled by the levels of
sesquiterpenoids, a class of C15 hormones derived from three isoprene units. The two major …

Gonad-inhibiting hormone (GIH) is a member of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone family
and plays a major role in regulating reproduction in crustaceans. In this study, a full-length …

Macrobrachium rosenbergii is the most economically important of the cultured freshwater
crustacean species, yet there is currently a deficiency in genomic and transcriptomic …

Arthropod molt is coordinated through the interplay between ecdysteroids and neuropeptide
hormones. In crustaceans, changes in the activity of Y-organs during the molt cycle have …

Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) is gaining momentum for crustaceans, both
in basic research and for commercial development. RNAi has proven instrumental in a …

Ecdysteroids initiate signaling along multiple pathways that regulate various aspects of
development, maturation, and reproduction in arthropods. This study was carried out to seek …

Myostatin (MSTN), also known as GDF8, is a member of the transforming growth factor-β
(TGF-β) superfamily and plays an important role in muscle growth, development, and …

The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is an important aquaculture
species in many Asian-Pacific countries due to its high economic value. A better …
