Zinc Alleviates Gut Barrier Dysfunction by Promoting the Methylation of AKT
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Zinc activates the ZNG1‐METAP1 complex to elevate intracellular SAM levels, which promotes PRMT5‐mediated symmetrical dimethylation of AKT at R391 and R15. This epigenetic modification facilitates AKT membrane translocation and mTORC2 activation, thereby enhancing epithelial proliferation and gut barrier integrity.

Genetics of Major Insect Vectors
, 2011 Publisher Summary Vector-borne diseases are responsible for a substantial portion of the global disease. Control of insect vectors is often the best and sometimes the only way to protect the population from these destructive diseases. This chapter reviews vector genetics of three of the most important vector-borne diseases that have much to contribute

Use of Aluminum-Foil and Oat-Straw Mulches for Controlling Aster Leafhopper, \u3ci\u3eMacrosteles Fascifrons\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Cicadellidae), and Aster Yellows in Carrots. [PDF]
, 2017 Aluminum-foil and oat-straw mulches significantly (P \u3c 0.05) reduced aster leafhopper numbers on carrots compared to an untreated control and a malathion spray treatment during the first half of the growing season.

Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.

Zika virus threshold determines transmission by European Aedes albopictus mosquitoes
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 Since its emergence in Yap Island in 2007, Zika virus (ZIKV) has affected all continents except Europe. Despite the hundreds of cases imported to European countries from ZIKV-infested regions, no local cases have been reported in localities where the ...

Bio‐Inspired Stored Magnetic Energy Actuator with Transient Triggering and Programmable Logic
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bio‐inspired magnetic energy actuator achieves 1.6 m/s transient release—three orders faster than conventional systems—via direct ink writing printed NdFeB/Polydimethylsiloxane composites and environmental locks; biomimetic AND‐gate logic enables sequential cue recognition (e.g., “temperature → rainfall”).
