The study of insect cell culture has become a cornerstone of modern virology and biotechnology. With the ability to cultivate cells from a variety of insect species under controlled laboratory ...

Insect cell lines have emerged as critical platforms for the production of recombinant proteins, vaccines and other biopharmaceuticals. Their ability to perform post‐translational modifications and to ...

Until now, the established theory, common enough to be in biology textbooks, was that insects rely on gas diffusion through their tracheal system, which connects to the outside, for oxygen respiration ...

Many insects rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for essential nutrients that they cannot get through their diet. A new study, published in Nature Communications, indicates that the genomes of ...
