Immunity: Insect Immune Memory Goes Viral [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
Adaptive memory in insect immunity has been controversial. In this issue, Andino and co-workers propose that acquisition of viral sequences in the host genome gives rise to anti-sense, anti-viral piRNAs. Such sequences can be regarded as both a genomic archive of past infections and as an armour of potential heritable memory.

Purification of Disassembled Capsid Protein by Hydroxyapatite Chromatography Enhances Virus‐Like Particle Recovery

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Virus‐like particles (VLPs) are a promising modality with extensive applications in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine design. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are one such example where VLP vaccine applications have led to the successful reduction in HPV‐associated diseases, such as cervical cancer.

Toll-mediated airway homeostasis is essential for fly survival upon injection of RasV12-GFP oncogenic cells

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Toll signaling is well known for its pivotal role in the host response against the invasion of external pathogens. Here, we investigate the potential involvement of Toll signaling in the intersection between the host and oncogenic cells. We show

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

Antimicrobial Peptides and Peptidomimetics in Foods – A Synthetic Foray

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
This Review discusses AMPs in foods and their syntheses. It espouses facile methods to make them accessible and suggests their utility in the mitigation and eradication of the burgeoning maladies of antimicrobial and multidrug resistance (AMR and MDR).

Quantitative analysis of hemocyte morphological abnormalities associated with Campoletis sonorensis parasitization

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2004
Endoparasitoids of arthropods evoke host cellular immune responses that result in hemocytic encapsulation of the endoparasitoid, unless these responses are disrupted by the parasite.

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Parascaris spp. induced surgical colic in juvenile horses—A Scandinavian perspective

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parascaris spp. commonly infects foals, and high burdens can cause fatal small intestinal impactions. Progressive anthelmintic resistance poses a risk for an increase of Parascaris spp. related disease in juvenile horses. Objectives To investigate Parascaris‐related surgical intestinal lesions, with special emphasis on ascarid ...
