Trace Element Content of Polyfloral Honey and Beeswax from the Vicinity of Non-Ferrous Metal Plant

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Food Science and Technology, 2019
Bees and their products occupy an important place in the trophic chain “toxicant-soil-plant-bee-bee product-man”, so it has been suggested that bees and bee products should be considered as not a costly method for monitoring of the environmental ...

Blackawton bees [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2010
Background Real science has the potential to not only amaze, but also transform the way one thinks of the world and oneself. This is because the process of science is little different from the deeply resonant, natural processes of play.

A Pollen‐Enhanced Bionic Mechanoreceptor Induced by Asymmetric Ionic Convection in Hydrogel for Sensory‐Augmented Prostheses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposed a pollen‐enhanced bionic mechanoreceptor based on ionic convection. Leveraging the ion anchoring effect of the pollen particle, the output performance could be ∼12 times higher than the original state. By employing deep learning models as AI brains, the feasibility of a sensory‐augmented prosthesis consisting of a pollen‐enhanced ...

Simulation studies to optimize genomic selection in honey bees

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background With the completion of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip for honey bees, the technical basis of genomic selection is laid. However, for its application in practice, methods to estimate genomic breeding values need to be adapted to ...

Advancing the Design of High‐Efficiency Printable Hole‐Conductor‐Free Mesoscopic Perovskite Solar Cells Through Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on the largest printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells database we established, stacking model achieved precise PCE prediction (R2 = 0.73, MAE = 2.18%). Multiple experiments verified the accuracy of the model, which guided the fabrication of high‐PCE devices with an efficiency of 19.36%.

Targeted Delivery of Indole‐3‐Pyruvic Acid Suppresses Macrophage Ferroptosis to Enhance CD8+ T Cell‐Mediated Immunotherapy Response in Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A microbiota‐derived metabolite, indole‐3‐pyruvic acid, suppresses macrophage ferroptosis through the AHR–NF‐κB–SLC7A11 axis. This preserves CD8+ T cell function in bladder cancer. Macrophage‐targeted nanoparticles enhance indole‐3‐pyruvic acid delivery and overcome resistance to PD‐1 blockade.

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes
