Efficacy of Essential Oil of Algrizea minor Sobral, Faria & Proença (Myrtaceae) in Combating Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Antibacterial and Virulence Modulation Studies Conducted In Vitro and In Vivo

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
This study explored the antibacterial, antivirulence, and in vivo effects of Algrizea minor essential oil (EOAM), against MRSA isolates. Chemical analysis by GC‐MS has been performed. The oil exhibited synergistic effects when combined with amoxicillin and oxacillin, inhibiting biofilm formation and reducing S. aureus‐induced hemolysis.

The Implications of Temperature-Mediated Plasticity in Larval Instar Number for Development within a Marine Invertebrate, the Shrimp Palaemonetes varians

PLoS ONE, 2013
Variations in larval instar number are common among arthropods. Here, we assess the implications of temperature-mediated variations in larval instar number for larval development time, larval growth rates, and juvenile dry weight within the palaemonid ...

The PP2A‐B56 Binding Site LxxIxE Contributes to Asp‐Mediated Spindle Pole Stability

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The organization of microtubules into a mitotic spindle is critical for animal cell proliferation and involves the cooperation of hundreds of proteins whose molecular roles and regulation are not fully understood. The protein product of the Drosophila gene abnormal spindle, Asp, is a microtubule‐associated protein required for correct mitotic ...

Pss knockdown in the midgut causes growth retardation in Drosophila similar to that in human LMHD

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Phosphatidylserine synthase (PSS), localized in the mitochondrial membrane, synthesizes phosphatidylserine. In humans, mutations in Pss lead to Lenz–Majewski hyperostotic dwarfism, a disorder affecting growth and development. The effects of Pss mutations on the growth of Drosophila melanogaster are not fully known. Hence, this study

Residual Efficacy of Lufenuron (Instar®), 1994 [PDF]

Arthropod Management Tests, 1995
Abstract Residual effect of a new chitin synthesis inhibitor, lufenuron (Instar® 0.2 TB) was determined against three different nymphal ages of German cockroach (1-week, 3-week and 5-week) and American cockroach (1-week, 5-week and 10-week).

Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

Evolutionary trajectories of multiple defense traits across phylogenetic and geographic scales in Vitis

Ecography, EarlyView.
The processes driving defense trait correlations may vary within and between species based on ecological or environmental contexts. However, most studies of plant defense theory fail to address this potential for shifts in trait correlations across scales.

Glia Preserve Their Own Functions While Compensating for Neighboring Glial Cell Dysfunction

Glia, EarlyView.
When cortex glia lose their interactions with neuronal cell bodies, all neighboring glia infiltrate the region to clear extra neuronal corpses. Even while compensating for nearby glial dysfunction, glia maintain their own phagocytic functions. ABSTRACT Glial cells are essential for nervous system development, homeostasis, and disease response, engaging

Genetic Diversity and Phylogeographic Structure of the Edible Caterpillars of Gynanisa maja and Implications for the Sustainability of the Species in Namibia

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Assessing the genetic diversity of edible insects harvested from the wild is a pre‐requisite for designing conservation and management policies. The caterpillars of Gynanisa maja (Saturniidae) are harvested in large numbers in mopane woodlands in southern Africa, where they represent a seasonal source of income and nutrition to many rural communities ...
