IL‐4/IL‐13‐producing ILC2s are required for timely control of intestinal helminth infection in mice
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 52, Issue 12, Page 1925-1933, December 2022., 2022 ILC2‐derived IL‐4/IL‐13 plays a non‐redundant role for eosinophil recruitment to the lung and expulsion of N. brasiliensis worm parasites from the intestine. Abstract Infection of mice with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) serves as a model for human hookworm infection affecting about 600 million people world‐wide.

On nonlinear pest/vector control via the Sterile Insect Technique: impact of residual fertility [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We consider a minimalist model for the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), assuming that residual fertility can occur in the sterile male population.Taking into account that we are able to get regular measurements from the biological system along the control duration, such as the size of the wild insect population, we study different control strategies ...

CRISPR-Cas9 vectors for genome editing and host engineering in the baculovirus–insect cell system
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Significance CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful site-specific genome-editing tool that has been used to genetically engineer many different systems. However, this tool has not yet been adopted for use in the baculovirus–insect cell system, which is an important ...

Aggregate, EarlyView.α‐Synuclein fibrils exhibit distinct mechanical properties influencing their neurotoxicity and pathogenicity in synucleinopathies like Parkinson's disease. Combining optical tweezers and molecular dynamics simulations, this study builds the structure–mechanics relationships of wild‐type and two disease‐associated mutants E46K and A53T α‐Synuclein ...

Functional activity of peptide ion channels in tethered bilayer lipid membranes: Review
Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 2, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Ion transport across biomembranes plays a major role in living cells. This fundamental function is normally carried out by molecules with both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic side (amphiphilic molecules), which aggregate within the membrane forming a hydrophilic pore (the ion channel) permitting the selective translocation of permeant ions ...

Optimal Control Approach for Implementation of Sterile Insect Techniques [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Vector or pest control is essential to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases or crop losses. Among the available biological control tools, the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is one of the most promising. However, SIT-control campaigns must be carefully planned in advance in order to render desirable outcomes.

Aquatic‐Terrestrial Insecticide Fluxes: Midges as Neonicotinoid Vectors
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 60-70, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Exposure of freshwater ecosystems to insecticides can negatively impact the development of emerging aquatic insects. These insects serve as an important nutritional subsidy for terrestrial insectivores. Changes in insect emergence phenology (i.e., emergence success and temporal pattern) or fluxes of insecticides retained by the emerging adults

Antibiotic Treatment in Anopheles coluzzii Affects Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism
Pathogens, 2020 The mosquito microbiota reduces the vector competence of Anopheles to Plasmodium and affects host fitness; it is therefore considered as a potential target to reduce malaria transmission.
