Microsporidia persistence in host impairs epithelial barriers and increases chances of inflammatory bowel disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Microsporidia are intracellular fungus-like pathogens and the infection symptoms include recurrent diarrhea and systematic inflammations. The major infection route of microsporidia is the digestive tract.

Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Hole‐Selective Layer Interface Engineering for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation on Bismuth Vanadate Photoanodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this research the [4‐(3,6‐dimethyl‐9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl)butyl] phosphonic acid (Me‐4PACz) self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) to bond with NiOx is first designed to be the organic‐inorganic hybrid hole‐selective layers, which promotes the BiVO4 photoanodes photoelectrochemical water splitting performance with 6.9 mA cm−2 photocurrent at 1.23 VRHE and at ...

Comprehensive characterization of the impairing effects of Nosema bombycis on the host digestive integrity and function

mSphere
Nosema bombycis (N. bombycis) infection causes growth retardation and indigestion of silkworms (Bombyx mori). The digestive tract is the primary infection route; thereby, in this study, we comprehensively investigated the disturbances of the digestive ...

Intra-dance variation among waggle runs and the design of efficient protocols for honey bee dance decoding

Biology Open, 2012
Summary Noise is universal in information transfer. In animal communication, this presents a challenge not only for intended signal receivers, but also to biologists studying the system.

Insect pheromones

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
The evidence for intraspecies chemical communication in insects is reviewed, with emphasis on those studies where known organic compounds have been implicated. These signal-carrying chemicals are known as pheromones. There are two distinct types of pheromones, releasers and primers. Releaser pheromones initiate immediate behavioral responses in insects

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Harnessing multiplex crRNA enables an amplification-free/CRISPR-Cas12a-based diagnostic methodology for Nosema bombycis

Microbiology Spectrum
Nosema bombycis is transmitted horizontally and vertically from infected female moths to progeny eggs, bringing substantial economic losses to sericulture production. Timely and accurate detection of N.

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Surfactants as a Tool for Coupling Light Into Hydrodynamic Flow: The Influence of Surfactant Hydrophobicity and Head Polarity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Reversible light‐induced gradients at solid–liquid interfaces enable controllable interfacial transport via light‐driven diffusioosmosis. We demonstrate directed particle manipulation based on dynamically generated concentration gradients. The mechanism is broadly applicable to cationic, anionic, and non‐ionic surfactants with varying hydrophobicity ...

Putative acetylcholinesterase genes from a one-host tick species, the winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus)

Parasites & Vectors
Tick control is heavily reliant on chemical acaricides; however, acaricide resistance and potentially toxic environmental effects underscore the need to develop new tick control strategies.
