Bean weevil biology in different hosts

open access: yesRevista de Ciências Agrárias, 2018
The Mexican bean weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus feeds on several Fabaceae species, such as lima bean, common beans, peas, and cowpeas. The aim of this study was to investigate possible changes in biological parameters of Z. subfasciatus when submitted to hosts Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) and Phaseolus lunatus (lima bean).

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Clinico-genomic study reveals association of dengue virus genome high frequency mutations with dengue disease severity

open access: yesScientific Reports
Transmission of the dengue virus (DENV) places a huge burden on public health in several endemic regions. Like other RNA viruses, mutations in the DENV genome greatly governs its virulence, transmissibility, and interaction with the host immune system ...

A Unifying Scenario on the Origin and Evolution of Cellular and Viral Domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The cellular theory on the nature of life has been one of the first major advancements in biology. Viruses, however, are the most abundant life forms, and their exclusion from mainstream biology and the Tree of Life (TOL) is a major paradox in biology ...

Long‐term culture of skin biopsies: maintenance of fibroblast production and competency of reprogramming

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Skin biopsies taken from a patient with an ultra‐rare disorder as well as controls were cultured for up to 473 days. The chunks of skin were serially transferred to a new culture plate when confluent with fibroblasts. Different generations of fibroblasts were analyzed for cell and molecular properties, proliferation, and competence for reprogramming to

Day/night variations of myeloid and lymphoid cell subsets in the murine inguinal lymph node

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The circadian system is involved in the temporal regulation of the immune system. Our study reveals that two innate immune populations, NKT cells and neutrophils, predominate at the beginning of the day in healthy mice, highlighting how the time of day influences immune responses.

Establishment of a coculture system for Porphyromonas gingivalis and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using spheroid culture and LATS inhibition

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We established a spheroid coculture system enabling viable Porphyromonas gingivalis–HNSCC interactions under normoxic conditions. Inhibition of LATS1/2 maintains tumor cells in an undifferentiated state, which may promote spheroid growth and create a more permissive environment for bacterial persistence.

Role of HIV RNA structure in recombination and speciation: romping in purine A, keeps HTLV away

open access: yes, 2013
Extreme enrichment of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) RNA genome for the purine A parallels the mild purine-loading of the RNAs of most organisms.
