| nematocytes: discovery and characterization of a novel anculeate hemocyte in drosophila falleni and drosophila phalerata. | immune challenges, such as parasitism, can be so pervasive and deleterious that they constitute an existential threat to a species' survival. in response to these ecological pressures, organisms have developed a wide array of novel behavioral, cellular, and molecular adaptations. research into these immune defenses in model systems has resulted in a revolutionary understanding of evolution and functional biology. as the field has expanded beyond the limited number of model organisms our apprecia ... | 2017 | 29141015 |
