The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Soybean domestication and lead stress on plant–herbivore–parasitoid interactions

Biological Control
Plant domestication and soil heavy metal pollution alter plant–insect interactions and influence bottom-up and top-down effects. However, their combined effect on plants, herbivores, and parasitoids remains unclear.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Biological control sought for ash whitefly

California Agriculture, 1990
Ash whitefly has spread over a large portion of California since the initial infestation was discovered in Los Angeles County in 1988. Populations have grown to high densities on a wide range of host plants, including ash, pear, apple, citrus, and other ...

RNAi-mediated suppression of toll-like receptor NlToll1 enhances Nilaparvata lugens susceptibility to entomopathogenic fungal infection

Biological Control
The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, is the most devastating insect pest of rice. Biological control with fungal entomopathogens is an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for controlling BPH.

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Biological control: Pitting insects against insects

California Agriculture, 1977
Biological control involves discovering, importing, and using the most effective natural enemies of pest insects or weeds that can be found. More than 10 million natural enemies of many kinds are released each year by the University of California (UC ...

Compatibility of biocontrol agents with host plant resistance for management of the South American tomato pinworm Phthorimaea absoluta

Biological Control
Integrating host plant resistance with biocontrol agents represents a promising strategy for sustainable management of Phthorimaea (Tuta) absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), an invasive pest that poses a significant global threat to tomato ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Quantification of the biological control of aphids by their natural enemies in sugar beet crops

Biological Control
Conservation biological control system involves a diverse community of natural enemies that significantly regulate pests in crops. However, the relative contribution of these different functional groups of natural enemies to aphid regulation is poorly ...
