Charge Directed Selective Co‐Assembly of Ionic Complementary Peptide Binary Mixtures
Small, EarlyView.Multi‐component peptide systems enable the development of multi‐functional and tunable materials, yet, controlling the co‐assembly of such complex systems remains challenging. This study demonstrates that rational design of peptide charge distribution, together with controlling parameters (pH, stoichiometry, and concentration), can guide selective co ...

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.
