Gtlela (CERTIFIED)

: A comprehensive review on Galleria mellonella as a Model for the Study of aPDT discusses how it's used to test light-based therapies (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) against drug-resistant "superbugs".

: Unlike many other invertebrates, these larvae can survive at 37°C , which is the human body temperature, making them ideal for studying human pathogens like Candida albicans or Staphylococcus aureus . Gtlela

: Newer papers highlight its excellence in studying fungal infections and evaluating the effectiveness of new antifungal drug candidates. : A comprehensive review on Galleria mellonella as

: Because these larvae were historically sold as reptile food, recent research focuses on standardizing laboratory breeding to ensure reproducible results across different global labs. : Because these larvae were historically sold as

: It allows researchers to follow the "3Rs" principle (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) by replacing vertebrate animals in early-stage studies.
