Insect Bacteriocytes as Convergent Host-Control Systems: Evolution, Cellular Differentiation, Molecular Networks, Multi-Omics and Translational Opportunities
Bacteriocytes are specialised insect cells that house intracellular symbionts and convert intimate microbial associations into developmentally organised, physiologically regulated organs. Their importance extends beyond nutritional complementation: bacteriocytes mediate metabolite exchange, restrict or tolerate microbi...
