Caterpillars of the Carolina sphinx moth have an extraordinary ability to instantly change their hemolymph's material properties, turning it into a viscoelastic fluid that helps stop bleeding. This discovery has potential applications for developing new drugs for humans to create fast-working thickeners of human blood.
Scientists from CNIO describe natural selection at the cellular level, where tissues and organs select the 'best' cells to fend off disease processes. The study reveals the role of haemocytes in eliminating cell residues, shedding light on mechanisms of homeostasis and potential cancer detection.
Researchers investigated Vibrio interactions with the bivalve immune system, identifying factors that influence vibrios' fate within the host. Different Vibrio species and strains adopt a common strategy to undermine host cell functions, disregulating signaling pathways.
