Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
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

Interactions between parasites and insects vectors [PDF]

open access: yesMemórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994
This review stresses the importance of studies that will provide a basic understanding of the pathology of parasite-infected vector insects. This knowledge should be a vital component of the very focussed initiatives currently being funded in the areas of vector control.

In the battle of survival: transcriptome analysis of hypopharyngeal gland of the Apis mellifera under temperature-stress

open access: yesBMC Genomics
Background Temperature is one of the essential abiotic factors required for honey bee survival and pollination. Apart from its role as a major contributor to colony collapse disorder (CCD), it also affects honey bee physiology and behavior.

Osteopontin in the host response to Leishmania amazonensis

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Leishmania (L.) spp are intracellular eukaryotic parasites responsible for cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis, replicating predominantly in macrophages (MF). In C57BL/6 mice virulence with L. amazonensis has been associated with inhibition of

Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

Leucine-Rich Immune Factor APL1 Is Associated With Specific Modulation of Enteric Microbiome Taxa in the Asian Malaria Mosquito Anopheles stephensi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The commensal gut microbiome is contained by the enteric epithelial barrier, but little is known about the degree of specificity of host immune barrier interactions for particular bacterial taxa. Here, we show that depletion of leucine-rich repeat immune

Comprehensive Genomic Discovery of Non-Coding Transcriptional Enhancers in the African Malaria Vector Anopheles coluzzii

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Almost all regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes is mediated by the action of distant non-coding transcriptional enhancers upon proximal gene promoters.
