Linking the production of reactive oxygen species to the expression of antimicrobial peptides through aquaporin in an arthropod

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 42, October 2025. <br/>SignificanceThe dual oxidase 2 (Duox2)/reactive oxygen species (ROS) system and the Relish/antimicrobial peptides (AMP) pathway have traditionally been regarded as distinct branches of arthropod antibacterial immunity. However, this study reveals that …
