The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even

The Bionic Interface: Considering the Material Mediated Electrical Stimulation of Stem Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical stimulation directs stem cell fate in tissue engineering. Cellular responses are influenced by membrane properties, intrinsic cell state, material charge‐transport characteristics, and the applied electrical signal. Additionally, a material’s ability to inject, store, and redistribute charge further modulates these responses.

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

Vertical Nanostructures as Novel Interfaces for Brain Research

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review highlights the unique features of vertical nanostructures (nanoneedles, nanostraws, nanopillars, and nanowires) for applications in brain research. Various characteristics of nanostructures, including material selection, fabrication methodology, and geometric designs, are discussed for their specific use in neurite guidance, neuron pinning,

Structured and unstructured continuous models for Wolbachia infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We introduce and investigate a series of models for an infection of a diplodiploid host species by the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia. The continuous models are characterized by partial vertical transmission, cytoplasmic incompatibility and fitness ...

Detection and Phylogenetic Affiliation of Wolbachia Endosymbiont from Drosophila Melanogaster (India) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The cellular endosymbiont Wolbachia causes reproductive alterations in arthropod and nematode species. The presence of Wolbachia in natural populations of arthropods is made possible by their ability to manipulate the physiology of their host. This study

Life Factors and Melanoma: From the Macroscopic State to the Molecular Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer, arises from dynamic interactions between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. This review explores how age, gender, obesity, diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, UV exposure, circadian rhythms, and medications influence melanoma risk and progression.
