Optimal control strategies for the sterile mosquitoes technique [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of many diseases such as dengue fever, zika or chigungunya. One way to control the spread of these diseases is to use the sterile insect technique (SIT), which consists in a massive release of sterilized male mosquitoes.

An Algebraic Discussion of Bisexual Populations with Wolbachia Infection I: Discrete Dynamical System Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This is the first paper in the sequel studying the Wolbachia-infection in bisexual populations. This paper considers the behavior of the population as a discrete dynamical system. The recurrence relation is obtained as a function of the initial infected male/female frequencies and the cytoplasmic incompatibility of the population. The experimental data

Alleviation of Aging‐Related Hallmarks in a Mouse Model of Progeria via a Nanoparticle‐Based Artificial Transcription Factor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oct4‐nanoscript, a biomimetic nanoparticle‐based artificial transcription factor, precisely regulates cellular rejuvenation by activating Oct4 target genes, restoring epigenetic marks, and reducing DNA damage. In a progeria model, it effectively rescued aging‐associated pathologies and extended lifespan.

Global stabilization of a Sterile Insect Technique model by feedback laws [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This work concerns feedback global stabilization of the sterile insect technique dynamics. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is presently one of the most ecological methods for controlling insect pests responsible for crop destruction and disease transmission worldwide.

Bacteria‐Derived Extracellular Vesicle as A “Trojan Horse” for Selective M1 Macrophage‐Targeting in A Multi‐Cellular Entanglement Environment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The temporary transition of macrophages from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M1) to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M2) is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration processes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are utilized as a “trojan horse” for specific M1 macrophage‐targeting and anti‐inflammatory drug delivery ...

To unwind the biological knots: The DNA/RNA G‐quadruplex resolvase RHAU (DHX36) in development and disease

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 542-549, December 2022., 2022
Schematic diagram showing RHAU can bind and unwind the G4 “knots” to modulate embryonic development and post‐natal organ function. Deficiency of RHAU gives rise to embryonic lethality, impaired organogenesis and organ dysfunction. RHAU modulates Nkx2‐5 mRNA and Yap1 mRNA at the post‐transcriptional level and facilitates the transcription of c‐Kit and ...

Magnetically Guided Mechanoactive Mineralization Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed ‘rebar‐concrete’ inspired scaffold (PGS‐P@MGel) synergizes spontaneous biomineralization with magneto‐mechanical stimulation through PDA@Fe3O4‐embedded hydrogel. This dual biointerface activates Piezo1/β‐catenin/YAP mechanotransduction axis, enhancing BMSCs osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously.

In Vivo‐Like Scaffold‐Free 3D In Vitro Models of Muscular Dystrophies: The Case for Anchored Cell Sheet Engineering in Personalized Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The scaffold‐free Anchored Cell Sheet Engineering platform is used to create three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro models of skeletal muscle tissue that replicate key features of Duchenne and Myotonic dystrophies. These personalized tissue models, validated by histological, immunostaining, and proteomics analyses, accurately mimic disease phenotypes and ...
