Chitin Translocation Is Functionally Coupled with Synthesis in Chitin Synthase
International Journal of Molecular SciencesChitin, an extracellular polysaccharide, is synthesized by membrane-embedded chitin synthase (CHS) utilizing intracellular substrates. The mechanism of the translocation of synthesized chitin across the membrane to extracellular locations remains unresolved.

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Intelligent Theranostic Systems Enabled by Aggregation‐Induced Emission in Precision Medicine
Aggregate, EarlyView.Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) luminogens are driving a new generation of intelligent theranostic systems that integrate high‐fidelity imaging and multifunctional therapy. This review highlights how AIEgens, through restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM), enable deep‐tissue NIR‐II imaging, ultrasensitive biosensing, CRISPR‐assisted gene ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.
