Obese flies: Why are adipokinetic hormone-deficient flies fat?
The adipokinetic hormone (AKH), an insect analog of the human hormone glucagon, is a central regulator of energy homeostasis and lipid mobilization in insects. Silencing of the AKH-receptor leads to fly obesity.
Polymer-based nanomimics: A new instrument against Malaria
Nanoscale vesicles made from different block copolymers and functionalized with heparin represent a new design concept for polymer-based nanomimics.
Influencing the antimalarial activity of polymer-based nanomimics
A nanomimics concept based on block copolymer vesicles is evaluated with regard to molecular factors influencing antimalarial activity.
