More than “100 worst” alien species in Europe

Biological Invasions, 2018
“One hundred worst” lists of alien species of the greatest concern proved useful for raising awareness of the risks and impacts of biological invasions amongst the general public, politicians and stakeholders.

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Chitin Deacetylase 1 Gene as an Optimal RNAi-Based Target for Controlling the Tomato Leaf Miner Tuta absoluta

Insects
Chitin is a critical component of both the exoskeleton and internal structures of insects, which can protect insects from mechanical damage, dehydration and pathogen infection, and plays a significant role in the molting process.

Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

A global meta-analysis of the ecological impacts of alien species on native amphibians

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
The exponential increase in species introductions during the Anthropocene has brought about a major loss of biodiversity. Amphibians have suffered large declines, with more than 16% considered to be threatened by invasive species.

Brede brakwaterpissebed - Synidotea laticauda. Niet-inheemse soorten van het Belgisch deel van de Noordzee en aanpalende estuaria [PDF]

, 2011
De brede brakwaterpissebed Synidotea laticauda kwam oorspronkelijk enkel voor in ondiep brak water langs de westkust van de Verenigde Staten. Het is een omnivoor die vooral te vinden is op harde substraten zoals boeien, pontons en oesterbedden.

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Dual roles of methoprene-tolerant gene TaMet in male molting and female reproduction of the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (meyrick)

Frontiers in Physiology
The tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta) is a highly destructive global quarantine pest. The methoprene-tolerant (Met) protein, a member of the bHLH/PAS family of transcription factors, forms complexes with other family members to transduce the juvenile ...

Japanse dansmug - Telmatogeton japonicus. Niet-inheemse soorten van het Belgisch deel van de Noordzee en aanpalende estuaria [PDF]

, 2011
De Japanse dansmug Telmatogeton japonicus was oorspronkelijk enkel bekend van de Japanse kusten en Hawaï. Internationale scheepvaart is er waarschijnlijk voor verantwoordelijk dat deze soort zich heeft uitgebreid naar het Europese en het Atlantisch ...
