Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Spider Eye Development Editing and Silk Fiber Engineering Using CRISPR‐Cas

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Spiders exhibit unique traits with significant implications for a diversity of fields, and gene editing provides new opportunities for advancing research in these areas. In this study, we developed a CRISPR‐Cas9 protocol for spiders, enabling gene knock‐outs/knock‐ins to study gene function and introduce new phenotypic traits. Abstract CRISPR‐Cas9 gene

Research progress on the use of the optical coherence tomography system for the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system tumors

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 3-18, Spring 2025.
With the advantages of high‐resolution imaging, efficient image acquisition, intraoperative real‐time detection, and radiation‐free and noninvasive characteristics, optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides accurate diagnosis and effective intraoperative guidance for the minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system (CNS ...

Recent progress on nanotechnologies for enhancing blood‐brain barrier permeability

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
In this review, we summarize innovative strategies for harnessing the power of nanotechnology to enhance blood‐brain barrier permeability, a key challenge for central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery. We overview structural innovation of nanocarriers, improvements in targeting strategies, and nanotechnology‐enhanced brain imaging.

Missing the biodiversity for the bee: Natural land management strategies impact functional invertebrate diversity in commercial cranberry production

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 265-279, May 2025.
Floral resources were similar between dike and semi‐natural areas while invertebrate richness, diversity, and composition differed. Invertebrate community composition differed based on presence of specific flora. Pollinator abundance was twice as high in the semi‐natural habitat.

A Single Multiplex CytoBas Assay Incorporating Eight Major Components for Accurate Detection of Allergen Sensitization in Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 1047-1059, April 2025.
Combined evaluation of 8 aeroallergen components in a single flow cytometry assay can differentially detect house dust mite, grass pollen, cat, and dog sensitization on blood basophils (AeroDiff CytoBas). The AeroDiff CytoBas assay demonstrated similar to superior diagnostic accuracy compared to singleplex component‐specific IgE serology.

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales)

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

Activation of TRPA1 and TRPM3 triggers Ca2+ waves in central terminals of sensory neurons and facilitates synaptic activity in the spinal dorsal horn

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and melastatin 3 (TRPM3) activation regulate pre‐ and postsynaptic Ca2+ concentrations and synaptic activity in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Left: a model that describes how activation of TRPA1 and TRPM3 channels induces an influx of Ca2+ in the central terminals of sensory ...

Opportunities to Modulate Tumor Ecosystem Toward Successful Glioblastoma Immunotherapy

Cancer Science, Volume 116, Issue 6, Page 1482-1499, June 2025.
There remain outstanding gaps between the negative results from clinical trials and the actual potential of the immune system for glioblastoma. To bridge this crucial gap, we collaborated with Dr. Mariko Takahashi, an expert in immunobiology and drug development, and Dr. James J.
