Magnetothermal‐responsive drug release bone cement based on EGFR‐mutated lung cancer bone metastases

VIEW, EarlyView.
A novel magnetothermal‐responsive bone cement was developed by integrating PMMA/CPC/Osimertinib matrix with Fe3O4@SiO2@Zol nanomaterials. This dual‐drug system achieves controlled release, combining excellent mechanical properties with potent anti‐tumor activity and bone regulation for treating EGFR‐mutated LC‐BoM.

EFFECT OF SOLVENT FLOW RATE ON THE SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE EXTRACTION OF ANDROGRAPHOLIDE FROM ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA [PDF]

, 2006
Malaysia is one of the major medicinal plants (Andrographis paniculata) producers in the world. Extraction of bioactive component (andrographolide) from ground dried leaves of this plant using supercritical carbon dioxide has been studied.

Plant surfaces with cuticular folds are slippery for beetles

, 2011
Plant surfaces covered with three-dimensional (3D) waxes are known to strongly reduce insect adhesion, leading to slippery surfaces. Besides 3D epicuticular waxes, cuticular folds are a common microstructure found on plant surfaces, which have not been ...

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

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.

SOLUBILITY OF VEGETABLE CUTICULAR WAXES IN SUPERCRITICAL CO2 ISOTHERMAL CALORIMETRY INVESTIGATIONS

, 1994
Vegetable cuticular waxes have to be separated from the more valuable essential oils in extraction processes carried out with supercritical fluids (namely CO2), allowing a solvent selectivity by modification of temperature and pressure. The solubility of

Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Cuticular waxes in alpine grassland plants: Chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and ecological adaptation with biotechnological insights

Grassland Research
Cuticular waxes, complex hydrophobic layers coating alpine grassland plants, are critical for survival in extreme environments characterized by freezing temperatures, intense UV‐B radiation, and physiological drought.
