Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Ligand‐Driven Optimization of Iron Oxide Nanoprobes for In Vivo MRI Enhancement at Ultra‐High Field

Small, EarlyView.
Ligand‐tailored iron oxide nanoparticles reveal how surface chemistry controls T2 relaxivity and in vivo performance in ultra‐high‐field MRI. Systematic variation of hydrophilicity and charge across five coatings modulated r2 by up to 333 mm−1 s−1, with chemical properties, rather than shell thickness, dictating magnetic dephasing and enabling reliable
