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

Almost all regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes is mediated by the action of distant non-coding transcriptional enhancers upon proximal gene promoters.

The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

Efficacy of the Sterile Insect Technique in the presence of inaccessible areas: A study using two-patch models [PDF]
The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is one of the sustainable strategies for the control of disease vectors, which consists of releasing sterilized males that will mate with the wild females, resulting in a reduction and, eventually a local elimination, of the wild population.

A control strategy for Sterile Insect Techniques using exponentially decreasing releases to avoid the hair-trigger effect [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce a control strategy for applying the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to eliminate the population of Aedes mosquitoes which are the vectors of various deadly diseases like dengue, zika, chikungunya... in a wide area. We use a system of reaction-diffusion equations to model the mosquito population and study the effect of ...

RACK7 Interacts with PRC2 Complex to Regulate Astrocyte Development
The study investigates the role of RACK7 in brain development using a conditional knockout mouse model. RACK7 deficiency results in developmental defects and abnormal astrocyte development by disrupting H3K27me3 chromatin binding. The underlying mechanism involves RACK7 interacting with the PRC2 complex to regulate the genomic localization of SUZ12 and

Dynein localization and pronuclear movement in the C. elegans zygote
Abstract Centrosomes serve as a site for microtubule nucleation and these microtubules will grow and interact with the motor protein dynein at the cortex. The position of the centrosomes determines where the mitotic spindle will develop across all cell types.

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) infection induces production of neophytadiene, a volatile resulting from chlorophyll degradation that is highly attractive to whiteflies. OBP2, an odorant‐binding protein from insect vector B. tabaci, exhibits a strong binding affinity for neophytadiene.

Using capillary electrophoresis to identify Anopheline species in routine sampling sites
In the Anopheles genus, various mosquito species are able to transmit the Plasmodium parasites responsible for malaria, while others are non‐vectors. In an effort to better understand the biology of Anopheles species and to quantify transmission risk in ...

A new amphipathic molecule, S416 is discovered, that locks the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein in its closed state, blocking viral entry. S416 acts as a molecular bolt, binding six sites: three between adjacent RBDs and three connecting NTDs to RBDs. This dual‐locking mechanism stiffens the spike structure and reduces its flexibility.
