Metabolic Resistance in Bed Bugs
Blood-feeding insects have evolved resistance to various insecticides (organochlorines, pyrethroids, carbamates, etc.) through gene mutations and increased metabolism. Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are hematophagous ectoparasites that are poised to become

Mosquitoes are the carriers of the parasite responsible for the disease, and hence malaria control programs focus on controlling mosquito populations. This is done primarily through the spraying of insecticides, or through the use of insecticide treated ...

Pyrazolyl phosphine oxides are shown to act as dual‐responsive fluorescent sensors, displaying a selective “turn‐off” fluorescence response for Fe3+ and a “turn‐on” response for Al3+. These systems serve as a new framework in the field of sensing materials based on main‐group elements such as phosphorus. Abstract Despite a wealth of previously reported

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.
