High Energy Radiation from Spider Pulsars [PDF]

open access: yesGalaxies 2019, 7(4), 93, 2019
The population of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) has been expanded considerably in the last decade. Not only is their number increasing, but also various classes of them have been revealed. Among different classes of MSPs, the behaviour of black widows and redbacks are particularly interesting.

Equine grass sickness is associated with major abnormalities in the ultrastructure of skeletal neuromuscular junctions

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 193-202, January 2025.
Abstract Background Equine grass sickness (EGS) is a frequently fatal multisystem neuropathy of equids. The aetiology is unknown; proposed causes include toxicoinfection with Clostridium botulinum and a mycotoxicosis. The effect of EGS on the organisation and structural integrity of the skeletal neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the target of botulinum ...

A Multistrategy Fusion–Improved Black Widow Optimization Algorithm for Structural Damage Identification

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Structural damage identification based on metaheuristic algorithms is an important part of structural health monitoring with great potential. However, the metaheuristic intelligent algorithms probably have flaws of slow convergence speed and low calculation accuracy, which need to be improved to address engineering optimization problems. In this paper,

Progress Report on a Survey of the Spiders of Iowa [PDF]

open access: yes, 1938
The senior author began a study of Iowa spiders in the fall of 1936 when a black widow (Latrodectus mactaus texanus) was collected in Linn County. This was reported in Science (Stiles, 1937) and constituted the first official record of the black widow ...

Venomics Approach Reveals a High Proportion of Lactrodectus-Like Toxins in the Venom of the Noble False Widow Spider Steatoda nobilis

open access: yesToxins, 2020
The noble false widow spider Steatoda nobilis originates from the Macaronesian archipelago and has expanded its range globally. Outside of its natural range, it may have a negative impact on native wildlife, and in temperate regions it lives in ...

Prey specificity of predatory venoms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

ATP Released by Injured Neurons Activates Schwann Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Injured nerve terminals of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) can regenerate. This remarkable and complex response is governed by molecular signals that are exchanged among the cellular components of this synapse: motor axon nerve terminal (MAT ...
