The amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit leads to the functional expression of human/insect receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Human α7 receptors have been characterised in terms of pharmacological properties. Insertion of the N‐terminal domain of the human α7 subunit leads to honeybee and cockroach chimeric receptors activated by ACh and inhibited by α‐Bgt. Insertion of the human cys‐loop leads to cockroach chimeric receptors modulated by PNU.

A Pilot Randomised Controlled Dose‐Ranging Trial of Ant Venom Immunotherapy With and Without Delta‐Inulin Adjuvant

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Low dose (25mcg) jack jumper ant venom immunotherapy with or without Advax adjuvant, had similar efficacy to the current standard of care. Reduction in basophil activation test reactivity in response to treatment correlated with sting challenge outcome.

Propolis and Beeswax in Cosmetics: A Market Survey and Literature Review on Their Relationship and Role in Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Propolis is rarely used in conventional cosmetics within the EU, and such products are therefore unlikely to be significant sources of exposure for patients with positive patch test reactions to propolis. There is no evidence that small amounts of propolis in white beeswax (cera alba) in cosmetics can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in individuals ...

Economic benefits of biodiversity corridors: A cross‐sectional study of households in the Central Annamite Landscape, Vietnam

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity corridors aim to reconnect fragmented habitats and protected areas, yet their impact on landowners varies and requires assessment. In the Central Annamite Landscape, Vietnam, initiatives like Payment for Forest Environment Services (PFES) for watershed protection, forest restoration, and non‐timber forest product development ...

Analysis of parametric biological models with non-linear dynamics

, 2012
In this paper we present recent results on parametric analysis of biological models. The underlying method is based on the algorithms for computing trajectory sets of hybrid systems with polynomial dynamics. The method is then applied to two case studies

Wild bee diversity and land use: A case study in a mountain agroecosystem of the Serranía de Ronda, southern Spain

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Orchards supported the highest wild bee diversity and functional diversity, highlighting their role in maintaining bee communities in Mediterranean agroecosystems. Landscape heterogeneity positively influenced functional evenness and dispersion of wild bee communities, underscoring the importance of diverse landscapes for bee conservation. The presence

Altitude control in honeybees: joint vision-based learning and guidance

Scientific Reports, 2017
Studies on insects’ visual guidance systems have shed little light on how learning contributes to insects’ altitude control system. In this study, honeybees were trained to fly along a double-roofed tunnel after entering it near either the ceiling or the
