Vertically transmitted bacterivorous nematodes are consistent nest inhabitants in the Azteca-Cecropia ant-plant mutualism

Scientific Reports
Nematodes play key roles in natural and agricultural ecosystems. They contribute to organic matter transformation and the stability of soil food webs. Beyond their free-living forms, many nematode lineages have evolved in close associations with insects,

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Decoding the Gut‐Brain Axis: Multi‐Omics Reveals a Causal Chain Linking Human Genome, Gut Microbiota, Blood Metabolites, and Alertness in the Brain

Med Research, EarlyView.
This multi‐omics study identified genetic loci, gut microbiota, blood metabolites, and gray matter volumes of orbitofrontal cortex and cerebellum that were potentially relevant to alerting in healthy Chinese adults. Subsequent two‐step one‐sample Mendelian randomization further revealed a serial mediation pathway: Bacteroides intestinalis influences ...

Optimizing Ex Vivo MRI and Controlling the Roll of the Specimen Using Container‐ and Brain‐Specific 3D‐Printed Holders

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Positioning and stabilizing a specimen in a container in preparation for ex vivo MRI are challenging. In addition, ex vivo MRI is often performed using preclinical scanners with gradient nonlinearity and nonhomogeneous sensitivity, requiring optimal placement.

Bioarcheological Insights From Fragmented Remains: Using Dental Health to Understand the Punic Necropolis of Monte Luna

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To investigate oral health in the fragmented human remains from the Punic necropolis of Monte Luna, Sardinia, and evaluate what dental pathologies reveal about lifeways and diet. Human remains from 227 individuals recovered from 70 tombs were analyzed, including 21 females, 16 males (> 15 years), and 59 non‐adults (1–15 years).
