Serendipitous, cross familial discovery of the first long-range chemical attractants for antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae): (1R,2S,5R,8R)-Iridodial and Z,E-nepetalactol

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Synthetic (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial, the key pheromone component of many green lacewings in the genus Chrysopa, strongly attracted adult males and females of the North American antlion, Dendroleon speciosus Banks.

Difference in the chemotaxis between monotrichous and peritrichous bacteria clarified by a numerical simulation and observation

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2022
We investigate difference in the chemotactic behavior between peritrichous bacteria (Salmonella typhimurium SJW1103) and monotrichous bacteria (Vibrio alginolyticus YM4).

PLL‐g‐HPA Hydrogel Microneedles Loaded With Rhoifolin Target Macrophages to Alleviate Fibroblast Senescence for Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Diabetic wound healing is hindered by a pathological crosstalk wherein elevated IL‐11 induces M1 macrophage polarization, leading to IL‐1β/IL‐6 release and subsequent fibroblast senescence via RAS/p38MAPK/p53/E2F1 signaling. Here, we develop a Gel@M‐Rho microneedle patch that delivers rhoifolin‐loaded, macrophage membrane‐coated nanoparticles to target

Enhanced Trapping of Yellowjacket Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) via Spatial Partitioning of Attractants

Insects, 2017
Several yellowjacket species are important pests in both their native habitat and in areas where they are invasive. Traps that contain one or more chemical attractants to lure insects inside are commonly used to combat these yellowjackets in urban ...

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Olfactory orientation of the seven-spot ladybird beetle, Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): Attraction of adults to plants and conspecific females

European Journal of Entomology, 2000
The olfactory orientation of the aphidophagous ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L. was assessed in a Y-tube olfactometer and a choice arena. The response of the predator to 22 plants, aphid prey and conspecifics was tested.

PTBP1‐Mediated Alternative Splicing of DNAJB6 Promotes Everolimus Resistance in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma via EIF4B/PKIB/AKT/mTOR Positive Feedback Loop

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PTBP1‐mediated alternative splicing drives a pathogenic switch to the DNAJB6b isoform in everolimus‐resistant clear cell renal cell carcinoma. This splicing event programs a positive feedback loop including EIF4B/PKIB/AKT/mTOR, promoting aggressive therapy resistance.
