Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Cellular Uptake and Tissue Retention of Microplastics in Black Soldier Fly Larvae
Microplastic pollution is a pressing global concern, yet its immunotoxicological impacts on invertebrates remain poorly understood. The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larva has gained attention for its role in waste management and potential ...

Development of an Artificial Liquid Diet for Allelochemical Delivery in Lycorma delicatula
ABSTRACT Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula White (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an invasive phloem‐feeding planthopper native to Asia, which poses a growing threat to US agriculture due to its broad host range and rapid spread since its 2014 detection. To better understand how L.

Hemolymph Extraction in \u3ci\u3eDrosophila Melanogaster\u3c/i\u3e
Extraction of hemolymph from the fly is done by using a device composed of rubber tubbing, luer-locks, and pipet tips involving air pressure, as well. The air pressure guides the fly through the rubber tubbing and into the pipet tip, head first. The luer-

ABSTRACT Background The edible insect industry, driven by the nutritional and environmental benefits of mealworms, faces increasing challenges from pathogens affecting Tenebrio molitor farming systems. Hemocyte‐based health assessments could provide valuable diagnostic insights, yet standardized hemolymph processing protocols and hematological ...

Abstract Objective Cataract surgery remains the sole method to resolve blindness secondary to cataract formation. One complication includes fibrin web formation post‐operatively. This study aimed to investigate the presence of endotoxin within materials used during cataract surgery as a possible cause of fibrin web phenomenon. Methods Preservative‐free
