To produce VLPs, scientists often use insect cells combined with a baculovirus. This virus, which naturally occurs in insects, is used in the lab to instruct cells to produce specific proteins for ...

Viruses deliberately slow themselves down inside mosquitoes, allowing the insects to carry and spread disease for life ...

The baculovirus-insect cell expression system is a potent and adaptable platform for protein production. The robust post-translational modification capabilities and relatively high cell culture ...

Many pathogens and endosymbionts hijack the host’s cytoskeleton for efficient propagation and transfer within or between host cells. Once released into the host’s circulatory system, however, they ...

Scientists have revealed a parasite's role in boosting male insect appeal by modulating host processes to facilitate female attraction, thereby enhancing the parasite's own transmission and survival.

The baculovirus expression system harnesses insect-specific viruses, notably Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), to achieve high-level recombinant protein production in ...
