The project aim was to identify the cell membrane receptors that prothoracic gland cells use to decode and transduce information from the extracellular environment during the final larval stage of the model insect, Bombyx mori.
Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are essential micronutrients that are linked to a wide set of biological processes. A deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of Ca- and P-utilization in sows and their offspring could help to reduce the environmental impact. Parathyroid glands play an import...
