Plasmodium falciparum is a pathogen of human malaria which causes millions of deaths per
year due to the ever-increasing drug resistance by the parasite, and thus novel antimalarial …

Description: Insect antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an important group of insect innate
immunity effectors. Insect AMPs are cationic and contain less than 100 amino acid residues …

Although Bombyx mori systematic immunity is extensively studied, little is known about the
silkworm's intestine-specific responses to bacterial infection. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) …

Cationic steroid antibiotics (CSAs), or ceragenins, are amphiphilic compounds consisting of
a cholic acid backbone that is attached to several cationic amines. In this study, we tested …

昆虫抗菌肽是昆虫先天免疫系统中非常重要的一类效应分子. 昆虫抗菌肽带正电荷, 分子量小,
大多数少于100 个氨基酸残基. 根据结构可以将昆虫抗菌肽分为一些不同的家族 …

Murine typhus is a flea‐borne febrile illness that is caused by the obligate intracellular
bacterium, Rickettsia typhi. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, acquires R. typhi by imbibing …

Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), referred to as collagenase-3, is a proteolytic enzyme
that plays a key role in degradation and remodelling of host extracellular matrix proteins …

This study is focused on mechanisms of molecular evolution of different epitope regions in
HIV-1 genome, particularly, assessing the extent of nucleotide and amino acid sequence …

Theory predicts that hosts should evolve highly specific immune defences when there are
significant fitness costs associated with parasitic infection. Historically, mechanistic studies …
