The insect fat body is analogous to vertebrate adipose tissue and liver. In this review, the
new and exciting advancements made in fat body biology in the last decade are …

Autophagy is a widely conserved process in eukaryotes that is involved in a series of
physiological and pathological events, including development, immunity, neurodegenerative …

Juvenile hormone (JH) represses precocious metamorphosis of larval to pupal and adult
transitions in holometabolous insects. The early JH-inducible gene Krüppel homolog 1 (Kr …

As revealed in a previous microarray study to identify genes regulated by 20-
hydroxyecdysone (20E) and juvenile hormone (JH) in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, E93 …

In insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, cell death is essential for reshaping or
removing larval tissues and organs, thus contributing to formation of the adult's body …

Autophagy and apoptosis, which could be induced by common stimuli, play crucial roles in
development and disease. The functional relationship between autophagy and apoptosis is …

The two essential insect hormones, ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones, are possessed not
only by insects, but also widely by arthropods, and regulate various developmental and …

The removal of superfluous and unwanted cells is a critical part of animal development. In
insects the steroid hormone ecdysone, the focus of this review, is an essential regulator of …

Homeostatic renewal and stress-related tissue regeneration rely on stem cell activity, which
drives the replacement of damaged cells to maintain tissue integrity and function. The Jun N …

Broodiness is an unfavorable trait associated with the cessation of egg laying. Studies have
found that excessive granulosa cell apoptosis and autophagy occur during goose …
