TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
Insect Science, EarlyView.RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.This Finnish registry study shows that concomitant occupational asthma and rhinitis are common in patients with occupational contact urticaria or protein contact dermatitis, often sharing the same exposure. When evaluating occupational immediate allergy, both skin and airway symptoms should be considered.

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.Summary Background Wheat‐dependent exercise‐induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) occurs after ingestion of wheat/gluten in the presence of various cofactors. Here, we characterized the sensitization spectrum to various wheat flours, as revealed by skin prick test (SPT) and specific IgE (sIgE) against wheat flour, gluten, and various wheat components.

Discovery of a cryptic aminoacidic triad involved in the temperature adaptation of GH1 enzymes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Cold‐active enzymes retain high catalytic activity at low temperatures but are characterized by thermal instability, a behavior not fully understood. Comparison between a cold‐active GH1 and its mesophilic counterparts highlights the role of a three‐residue motif (W‐M‐F) in conferring structural stability to a mesophilic GH1.
