The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The

A second functional furin site in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
The ubiquitously-expressed proteolytic enzyme furin is closely related to the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and therefore represents a key target for antiviral therapy. Based on bioinformatic analysis and pseudovirus tests, we discovered a second functional
