Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Draper‐ATG3 Interaction Positively Regulates Autophagy to Mediate Silk Gland Degradation in Bombyx mori

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Draper is evolutionarily conserved across most insect species. Loss of Draper inhibits autophagy activation, delaying middle silk gland degradation in the silkworm during metamorphosis. Draper interacts with autophagy ‐ related protein 3 (ATG3) to orchestrate autophagosome formation—a process essential for silk gland degradation during the larval‐pupal

Gut Microbial Genetic Variation Prolongs Host Healthy Longevity and Remodels Metabolome and Proteome in Drosophila Melanogaster

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that specific genetic variations in gut‐residing Saccharomyces cerevisiae significantly extend healthspan and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster. These mutants rejuvenate aged intestinal metabolism, upregulate mitochondrial proteins, and enhance energy pathways.

The effect of Clitoria ternatea L. flowers-derived silver nanoparticles on A549 and L-132 human cell lines and their antibacterial efficacy in Caenorhabditis elegans in vivo

Hybrid Advances
Clitoria ternatea L. flowers were used for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (CT-AgNPs) with a focus on their anticancer and antimicrobial properties. The CT-AgNPs were characterized using a variety of techniques, including UV–Vis spectroscopy,

Adenylosuccinate Synthase 1 Deficiency Improves Energy Metabolism by Promoting Adipose Tissue Re‐esterification via Glycerol Kinase Upregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Working model of Adss1‐mediated regulation of energy metabolism in adipose tissue. In beige adipocytes, Adss1 interacts with HDAC3 in the cytoplasm, and its loss reduces nuclear HDAC3 while increasing cytosolic fractions. This redistribution suppresses HDAC activity and enhances H3K27 acetylation at the Gk promoter, leading to transcriptional ...

A novel octopamine receptor with preferential expression in Drosophila mushroom bodies [PDF]

, 1998
Octopamine is a neuromodulator that mediates diverse physiological processes in invertebrates. In some insects, such as honeybees and fruit flies, octopamine has been shown to be a major stimulator of adenylyl cyclase and to function in associative ...

Viral Systemic Movement Is Enhanced by Alteration of a Structural Phloem Protein by the Insect Vector

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aphids release salivary protein GLD into plants, which induces ROS in the phloem. This leads to the intermolecular disulfide bonds formation among SEO proteins, promoting their transition from the dispersed state to the aggregated state. SEO can interact with CMV CP.

YKT6 Promotes Bladder Cancer Progression by Stabilizing β‐catenin Through USP7‐Mediated Deubiquitination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The SNARE protein YKT6 is upregulated in bladder cancer (BLCA), correlating with poor prognosis. YKT6 promotes tumor proliferation and metastasis by activating Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. It recruits Ubiquitin‐Specific Peptidase 7 (USP7) to deubiquitinate and stabilize β‐catenin, enhancing its nuclear accumulation and driving oncogenic gene expression ...
