Intermittent Vibration Induces Sleep via an Allatostatin A‐GABA Signaling Pathway and Provides Broad Benefits in Alzheimer's Disease Models

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, February 3, 2025.
This study introduces a novel vibration modality that effectively induces sleep in both Drosophila melanogaster and mice. Evidence from the research indicates that the AstA‐GABA signaling pathway plays a crucial role in mediating sleep induced by intermittent vibration, highlighting the potential of vibration therapy for addressing sleep‐related brain ...

Homozygous multiple‐insecticide resistance in Australian invasive serpentine leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract In October 2020, Liriomyza huidobrensis (serpentine leafminer [SLM]) was first detected in Western Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), and subsequently Southern Queensland (QLD). Control failures were reported, and insecticide resistance was confirmed via bioassay, but mechanisms causing resistance remained unknown.

Reducing uncertainty in dose–response assessments by incorporating Bayesian benchmark dose modeling and in vitro data on population variability

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 457-472, February 2025.
Abstract There are two primary sources of uncertainty in the interpretability of toxicity values, like the reference dose (RfD): estimates of the point of departure (POD) and the absence of chemical‐specific human variability data. We hypothesize two solutions—employing Bayesian benchmark dose (BBMD) modeling to refine POD determination and combining ...
