Forager bees (Apis mellifera) highly express immune and detoxification genes in tissues associated with nectar processing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pollinators, including honey bees, routinely encounter potentially harmful microorganisms and phytochemicals during foraging. However, the mechanisms by which honey bees manage these potential threats are poorly understood.

Bio‐Based Wax Interfaces for Droplet Energy Harvesting at Fluoropolymer‐Like Output Levels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Replacing unsustainable fluorinated polymers in droplet‐based energy harvesters is usually limited by low power outputs, but carefully selected bio‐based polymers are capable of creating fluoropolymer‐like voltage outputs. Abstract Droplet impact and rebound on solid surfaces has emerged as a promising method for energy harvesting, typically ...

Gram‐Scale Synthesis of Hafnium‐Rich Carbon Dots for Preclinical Computed Tomography Imaging Across Various Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hafnium (Hf)‐rich carbon dots (Hf‐rCDs) with high metal content (40.7%) and robust batch production capacity (>2 g per batch) are synthesized via a facile air‐assisted pyrolysis method. In vivo CT imaging demonstrates outstanding performance of Hf‐rCDs across multiple physiological systems and enables high‐resolution visualization of swine cervical ...

Tough and Temperature‐Resistant Material Based on Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We propose a biomimetic “Hydration‐Crystallization Locking” (HCL) strategy inspired by Bombyx mori spinning to enhance silk fibroin (SF) performance in extreme temperatures. A flexible fibroin membrane (FFM) shows high strength, toughness, and shape retention under −196°C and 70°C.

The macroeconomic cost of catastrophic pollinator declines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach to assess the macroeconomic impacts of productivity shocks due to catastrophic losses of pollination ecosystem services at global and regional scales.

Probing the Cause of Capacity Fade in Large‐Format Li‐Ion Pouch Cells through Multimodal Characterization

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A comprehensive multimodal characterization of two end‐of‐life cells from a retired Nissan Leaf battery pack, subjected to accelerated aging to mimic extended use in second‐life applications shows that electrolyte degradation and loss is a more critical contributor to cell degradation toward the knee‐point in these cells than degradation of the ...

Dioxin Analysis of Bee Pollen Pellets Collected by Apis mellifera L. in Rural Area of Turkey

open access: yesJournal of Apicultural Science, 2018
Bee pollen, an important bee product, is harvested as a food supplement for humans, so it must be safe in terms of toxic components for consumption.

Clinically Informed Intelligent Classification of Ovarian Cancer Cells by Label‐Free Holographic Imaging Flow Cytometry

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Quantitative phase maps of single cells recorded in flow cytometry modality feed a hierarchical architecture of machine learning models for the label‐free identification of subtypes of ovarian cancer. The employment of a priori clinical information improves the classification performance, thus emulating the clinical application of liquid biopsy during ...

Distinct fungal microbiomes of two Thai commercial stingless bee species, Lepidotrigona terminata and Tetragonula pagdeni suggest a possible niche separation in a shared habitat

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Stingless bees, a social corbiculate bee member, play a crucial role in providing pollination services. Despite their importance, the structure of their microbiome, particularly the fungal communities, remains poorly understood.
