The control of body size in insects
Control mechanisms that regulate body size and tissue size have been sought at both the cellular and organismal level. Cell-level studies have revealed much about the control of cell growth and cell division, and how these processes are regulated by nutrition.

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Organic Centre Wales Technical Note 3: Biology and Management of Soil pests [PDF]
The majority of crops grown in the UK are host to single or multiple insect pests that feed on the growing plant at some stage of their life cycle. Insect pest is not strictly correct terminology because the pests come from a wide range of families or ...

Electroplated Polymer‐Modified Carbon Fiber for Performance‐Enhancing Composite Interfaces
Chitosan is electrodeposited onto the surface of carbon fibers in an energy‐efficient and simplified procedure, enhancing interfacial bonding potential with various epoxy matrices. The coated fibers effectively function as reinforcing fillers in both continuous and discontinuous states.

Market-Based Instruments for the Optimal Control of Invasive Insect Species: B. Tabaci in Arizona [PDF]
Invasive insect species represent perhaps one of the most significant potential sources of economic risk to U.S. agricultural production. Private control of invasive insect species is likely to be insufficient due to negative externality and weaker-link ...
