High concentrations of fluorescent nanoprobes delayed Oryzias melastigma embryo hatching by modulating respiratory and metabolic pathways

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
We investigated the developmental toxicity of a new graphene‐based fluorescent nanoprobe for tumor cell nucleus (GTTNs) using Oryzias melastigma embryos. The results confirmed that GTTNs have excellent biocompatibility for biomedical applications. Only the highest dose delayed hatching time.

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3
