A proposed national strategic framework for the management of Cactaceae in South Africa

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2017
Background: South Africa has a long history of managing biological invasions. The rapid increase in the scale and complexity of problems associated with invasions calls for new, more strategic management approaches.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Changes in plant architecture in Brazilian peppertree damaged by the biological control agent, Pseudophilothrips ichini (Hood) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae)

Biological Control
Plants may compensate for herbivory damage by reallocating resources and altering growth patterns, which may be further influenced by environmental variables like nutrient availability.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...

Biotic interactions and plant invasions

Ecology Letters, 2006
AbstractIntroduced plant populations lose interactions with enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions. From a biogeographical perspective, differences in the assemblage of interacting species, as well as in abiotic conditions, may explain the demographic success of

Host range, biology, and climate suitability of Callopistria exotica, a potential biological control agent of Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum) in the USA

Biological Control
Old World climbing fern, Lygodium microphyllum (Cav.) R. Br., is one of the worst environmental weeds of southern and central Florida. The weed climbs over other plants, forming thick mats that block sunlight to native shrubs and trees. In the introduced

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

The Use and Management of Invasive Plants [PDF]

Plants
Invasive plant species pose significant challenges to biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and economic sustainability, such as disrupting native flora, altering soil chemistry, and creating ecological imbalances [...]

A test of relative effects of chemotype and environment on biocontrol of invasive Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida

Biological Control
Invasive Melaleuca quinquenervia consists of two different chemotypes, E-viridiflorol and E-nerolidol that differentiate geographically in Florida: E-nerolidol dominates on the east coast and E-viridiflorol is more common on the west coast.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...
