Sociobiology, 2020 Besides the eff ectiveness of floral visitors, to better understand pollination systems is necessary to consider the role of predators. Ants are ubiquitous on the vegetation, especially on plants bearing extrafloral (EFNs) and pericarpial nectaries (PNs).

Nonhuman Complexity Poetics: Leaf-Cutter Ants and Multispecies Composition
, 2022 In this article I examine leaf-cutter ants, and particularly their nest architecture, in terms of what I call an ‘ethological poetics.’ I propose that thinking about leaf-cutter architecture is an engagement with a radically alternative aesthetics.

Deubiquitination of Vangl by USP6 and USP32 Regulates Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Compartment‐specific deubiquitination controls Vangl dosage and planar cell polarity signaling. USP6 and USP32 regulate distinct subcellular pools of Vangl by removing distinct ubiquitin modifications from Vangl proteins. This regulatory mechanism safeguards PCP‐dependent embryonic morphogenesis, while aberrant USP32‐dependent stabilization of VANGL ...

Use of fluorescent ANTS to examine the BBB-permeability of polysaccharide
MethodsX, 2015 Recently, some polysaccharides showed therapeutic potentials for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases while the most important property, their permeability to the blood brain barrier (BBB) that sheathes the brain and spinal cord, is not yet ...

CRISPR and Gene Augmentation Rescue Trabecular Meshwork Dysfunction in iPSC Models of Lowe Syndrome
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By modeling Lowe syndrome using patient‐derived iPSCs, this study establishes a human disease model that faithfully recapitulates OCRL deficiency‐associated ciliary and cytoskeletal defects. The model enables evaluation of both mutation‐agnostic DNA augmentation and CRISPR‐mediated mutation correction strategies, both of which restore OCRL function and

Towards a Compositional Framework for Describing Human Phenotypes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Phenotype Assembly Method (PhenoAM) decomposes phenotype variables into measurable Features and typed Qualifiers, enabling standardized, machine‐readable Phenome Data Elements (PhenoDEs) that preserve measurement context. Applied in the International Human Phenome Project (IHPP), the framework yields 58 371 PhenoDEs and supports component‐level ...

Whiteflies Provide Honeydew to Camponotus ants Without Receiving Reciprocal Favor
Sociobiology, 2016 The notion that tending ants provide protection to honeydew-producing hemipterans is widely accepted. Nevertheless, there have been debates about whether or not this protection can always disrupt the biological control of hemipterans.
