A semiochemical view of the ecology of the seed beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae)

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 184, Issue 1, Page 19-36, January 2024.
The dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is an economically important pest of stored legumes worldwide. We review the semiochemistry of the mate‐ and host‐finding behaviour of A. obtectus and provide new information about the effect of seed chemistry on the sensory and behavioural ecology of host acceptance and larval development.

Exploring Cytotoxic mRNAs as a Novel Class of Anti-cancer Biotherapeutics

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2018
New treatments to overcome the obstacles of conventional anti-cancer therapy are a permanent subject of investigation. One promising approach is the application of toxins linked to cell-specific ligands, so-called immunotoxins.

Insights into the mechanism of cell death induced by saporin delivered into cancer cells by an antibody fusion protein targeting the transferrin receptor 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We previously developed an antibody-avidin fusion protein (ch128.1Av) that targets the human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and exhibits direct cytotoxicity against malignant B cells in an iron-dependent manner. ch128.1Av is also a delivery system and its

Most poisonous plants and their secondary metabolites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
U radu sam obradila osnovne značajke i sekundarne metabolite nekih od biljaka koje se nalaze na popisu najotrovnijih. Ono što ih čini takvima su upravo ti sintetizirani organski spojevi, a kako se njihovom obradom može smanjiti toksičnost i istaknuti ...

Effect of a nematicidal Bacillus thuringiensis strain on free- living nematodes : 3. Characterization of the intoxication process [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
La toxicité de #Bacillus thuringiensis$ est fonction de la température. L'incubation de #Caenorhabditis elegans$ avec des souches de #B. thuringiensis$ à 16, 20 et 25°C montre que la toxicité décroît en même temps que la température.

Dianthin and Its Potential in Targeted Tumor Therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Dianthin enzymes belong to ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) of type 1, i.e., they only consist of a catalytic domain and do not have a cell binding moiety.

Lectin domains at the frontiers of plant defense [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Plants are under constant attack from pathogens and herbivorous insects. To protect and defend themselves, plants evolved a multi-layered surveillance system, known as the innate immune system.

Influence of Food Matrices on the Stability and Bioavailability of Abrin

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Abrin, a highly toxic plant toxin, is a potential bioterror weapon. Work from our laboratory and others have shown that abrin is highly resistant to both thermal and pH inactivation methods.
