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.

Using nutritional ecology to predict community structure: a field test in Neotropical ants.
, 2012 Nutritional ecology predicts consumer behavior based on the biochemistry of species and biogeochemistry of the environment. It is thus well suited as a tool for predicting the effects of specific nutrients on consumer activity, abundance, and diversity ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fibronectin 1 (FN1)‐expressing subicular subpopulations encode novel object preference and selectively govern retrieval of novel object recognition (NOR) via affecting excitability of entorhinal‐projecting circuit through large conductance Ca2+‐activated potassium (BK) channel. ABSTRACT Novel object recognition (NOR), referring to the cognitive ability

The rise of army ants and their relatives: diversification of specialized predatory doryline ants
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014 Army ants are dominant invertebrate predators in tropical and subtropical terrestrial ecosystems. Their close relatives within the dorylomorph group of ants are also highly specialized predators, although much less is known about their biology.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...

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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Liver metastasis is a leading cause of mortality in colorectal cancer (CRC), where the inflammatory tumor microenvironment, specifically neutrophil infiltration, significantly promotes metastatic colonization. This study reveals a pro‐metastatic role for alpha‐1 antitrypsin (A1AT) in CRC liver metastasis via a dual mechanism involving ...
