ABSTRACT The sterile insect technique (SIT), traditionally reliant on gamma irradiation, has been an effective strategy for controlling Bactrocera dorsalis. However, strict regulations governing gamma radiation sources and the limited research on the responses of B. dorsalis to X‐ray irradiation have hindered the further development of SIT.

The role of substance P in secondary pathophysiology after traumatic brain injury [PDF]
It has recently been shown that substance P (SP) plays a major role in the secondary injury process following traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly with respect to neuroinflammation, increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, and edema ...

This mini review provides insights into the synergistic power of chemical biology techniques for generating defined ubiquitin (Ub) variants and the use of affinity enrichment mass spectrometry to decipher the Ub code. It focuses on unconjugated Ub variants, which have emerged as additional signaling molecules in the Ub lexicon. Furthermore, it outlines

Amino acid sequence of the chymotryptic protease II from the larvae of the hornet, Vespa crabro [PDF]
The covalent structure of the chymotrypsin II from the larvae of the hornet, Vespa crabro, has been determined. The sequence has been deduced from 3 sets of overlapping peptides generated by trypsin after modification of the lysine or arginine residues ...

Forward Genetic Dissection of Biofilm Development by Fusobacterium nucleatum: Novel Functions of Cell Division Proteins FtsX and EnvC. [PDF]
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a key member of the human oral biofilm. It is also implicated in preterm birth and colorectal cancer. To facilitate basic studies of fusobacterial virulence, we describe here a versatile transposon mutagenesis procedure and a ...

Spontaneous Isomerization of Long-Lived Proteins Provides a Molecular Mechanism for the Lysosomal Failure Observed in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]
Proteinaceous aggregation is a well-known observable in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but failure and storage of lysosomal bodies within neurons is equally ubiquitous and actually precedes bulk accumulation of extracellular amyloid plaque. In fact, AD shares
