Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Aflatoxin contamination in dried fruits and nuts in Bangladesh: Occurrence, dietary exposure, and health risk assessment

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dried fruits and nuts are widely consumed for their desirable sensory qualities and high nutritional value, providing essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fatty acids, potassium, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. However, they are highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, particularly in humid tropical regions ...

Use of predictive tools for the analysis of bioactive compounds in Crocus sativus L. flowers

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Crocus sativus L. (saffron) flowers have high bioactive potential because of their content of crocins, safranal and phenolic compounds. The development of predictive models based on near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and partial least squares regression to estimate the antioxidant capacity of saffron flower, evaluated using oxygen ...

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Phytotoxicity Assessment of Ashes Generated From Household Combustion of Conventional Fuels, Mixed Fuels, and Municipal Waste

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The main aim of the study was to assess the toxicity of ash generated in household furnaces through the combustion of materials most commonly burned in individual households. The toxicity tests were conducted using plant bioassays with cress (Lepidium sativum), mustard (Sinapis) and sorghum (Sorghum) seeds.

Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

A Reversible Clearing Strategy Enables Robust Label‐Free Phase Imaging of Thick Tissues

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
The principle of a reversible clearing strategy via glycerol and tartrazine solution (GTS) for robust whole‐slide label‐free phase imaging of thick tissue slices via high‐throughput Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) and lensless digital holographic microscopy (LDHM). ABSTRACT Thick biological specimens impose strong scattering and attenuation that
