Navigating the future of nano‐pesticides: A perspective on design, efficacy, mechanisms, and environmental stewardship

iMeta, EarlyView.
Nano‐pesticides are driving a paradigm shift toward sustainable plant protection. This review systematically synthesizes recent advances across four interconnected domains: (i) intelligent formulation design for targeted delivery and controlled release; (ii) interfacial behavior regulation to enhance foliar deposition; (iii) multi‐omics elucidation of ...

EVOLUTION OF ARTHROPOD HEMOCYANINS AND INSECT STORAGE PROTEINS (HEXAMERINS)

, 1994
Crustacean and cheliceratan hemocyanins (oxygen-transport proteins) and insect hexamerins (storage proteins) are homologous gene products, although the latter do not bind oxygen and do not possess the copper-binding histidines present in the hemocyanins.

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Mosquito cell-derived West Nile virus replicon particles mimic arbovirus inoculum and have reduced spread in mice.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Half of the human population is at risk of infection by an arthropod-borne virus. Many of these arboviruses, such as West Nile, dengue, and Zika viruses, infect humans by way of a bite from an infected mosquito.

Structure of arthropod hemocyanin

, 1986
Hemocyanins are large multi-subunit copper proteins that transport oxygen in many arthropods and molluscs. The amino acid sequence of subunit a of Panulirus interruptus hemocyanin (657 residues) has been completed and fitted to the electron-density map ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Proteomic analysis of immunogenic proteins from salivary glands of Aedes aegypti

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2015
Summary: Humans develop anti-salivary proteins after arthropod bites or exposure to insect salivary proteins. This reaction indicates that vector bites have a positive effect on the host immune response, which can be used as epidemiological markers of ...

Research progress toward arthropod salivary protein vaccine development for vector-borne infectious diseases.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Hematophagous arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, and flies, are responsible for the transmission of several pathogens to vertebrates on whom they blood feed. The diseases caused by these pathogens, collectively known as vector-borne diseases (VBDs),
