Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]
, 2019 Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported from plants.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A 3D‐printed BSA–PEGDA bilayer actuator performs biochemical logic, bending autonomously in acid and releasing its drug payload only when both acid and pepsin are present. This dual‐stage, enzyme‐gated mechanism enables autonomous catch‐and‐release motion and controlled gastric drug delivery, representing a programmable soft material powered by ...

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010 The presence of bees (Apis mellifera L.) in urban areas has increased in recent years due to environmental disturbances caused by humans. Bee migration to cities may provoke serious accidents, since some people present allergic reactions to their venoms.

Predictability of bee community composition after floral removals differs by floral trait group [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2017 Plant–bee visitor communities are complex networks. While studies show that deleting nodes alters network topology, predicting these changes in the field remains difficult. Here, a simple trait-based approach is tested for predicting bee community composition following disturbance.

Beehavior and Beyond: Realizations in Research [PDF]
, 2015 Most people would mistake the small carpenter bee Ceratina calcarata and its relatives for ants with wings,and I won’t pretend that I could tell the difference before I spent a summer researching this particular bee species.

The Worker Flow at the Hive Entrance Predicts When Nest Cleaning is Intensified in Stingless Bees
Psyche: A Journal of EntomologyWaste produced by living organisms is commonly disposed of as a prophylactic measure to avoid the spread of diseases and parasite infestation. For social insects, a proportion of workers is allocated to dispose the waste material outside the colony’s ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A microfluidic electrochemical biosensor enables sensitive and specific detection of antibodies associated with vaccine‐induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) and heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). The platform uses two antigen targets— platelet factor 4 (PF4) and cross‐linked‐PF4 (c‐PF4)—and microliter volumes of patient sera to ...
