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 ...

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

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Skin and lung findings, including the rare findings of leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) and necrobiotic pulmonary nodules, are known extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease. However, these rare EIMs have typically been reported as being a sign of active intestinal disease.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Impact of low-input meadows on arthropod diversity at habitat and landscape level [PDF]
, 2005 In Switzerland, in order to preserve and enhance arthopod diversity in grassland ecosystems (among others), farmers had to convert at least 7 % of their land to ecological compensation areas – ECA. Major ECA are low input grassland, traditional orchards,

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

A new species of Ceroplastes from Florida (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae) [PDF]
, 2002 Previous literature recognized twenty species of wax scales occurring in the Neartic region with nine of those occurring in Florida. This number has grown recently with the establishment of the Ceroplastes rusci and the discovery of C.
