Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Seasonal Difference of Gut Microbiota at a Stopover Site in Five Passerines of Different Migratory Behavior

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Seasonal variation significantly reshaped gut microbiota composition in migratory passerine species, whereas the resident species Suthora webbiana showed no clear seasonal shift. Species with similar migratory behaviors exhibited consistent seasonal patterns in their core gut microbiota.

Transgenic cotton and farmers' health in Pakistan.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Despite substantial research on the economic effects of transgenic insect-resistant Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton, there is still limited work on this technology's impacts on human health.

Variation in forest area influences post‐fledging development and dispersal onset in the Eurasian Goshawk (Astur gentilis)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Natal dispersal is a key ecological process influencing gene flow, population connectivity and individual fitness. In altricial birds, the transition from fledging to natal dispersal is mediated by the post‐fledging dependence period, which is often difficult to observe in elusive, forest‐dwelling species.

Evaluation of the Effects of Computer‐Controlled and Conventional Local Anesthesia on Pain and Anxiety in Children With Molar Incisor Hypomineralization: A Split‐Mouth Study

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Computer‐controlled anesthesia delivery systems (CCLADs), such as SleeperOne, are available as an alternative to traditional anesthesia for the treatment of teeth with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the SleeperOne and the conventional local anesthesia technique on pain and ...

A Mechanical Planar Chiral Rotaxane Induces Single‐Handed Helicity in a Twisted Perylene Diimide

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 39, 21 September 2026.
A mechanical planar chiral rotaxane (Rmp) is used to induce single‐handed helical chirality (M) in a perylene diimide chromophore, resulting in persistent circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarised luminescence (CPL). ABSTRACT The twisting of chromophores such as perylene diimides (PDIs) into helical structures affords chiroptical properties from

Oxidative Stress–Driven Alterations in FoxO‐1 and MMP‐9 Activity in Smoking‐Associated Periodontitis

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Smoking disrupts oxidative balance and is a major risk factor for periodontitis. Forkhead box protein O‐1 (FoxO‐1) regulates antioxidant defense, yet its contribution to smoking‐associated periodontal breakdown is unclear. This cross‐sectional case–control study assessed reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐

The effects of Fe2O3 nanoparticles on physiology and insecticide activity in non-transgenic and Bt-transgenic cotton

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
As the demands for nanotechnology and nanoparticle (NP) applications in agriculture increase, the ecological risk has drawn more attention because of the unpredictable results of interactions between NPs and transgenic crops.
