Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

Unveiling seasonal variability in Crassostrea tulipa larval dispersal in Gulf of Guinea coastal waters: foundations for sustainable shellfish farming

Frontiers in Marine Science
The coastal zone of the Gulf of Guinea holds significant natural potential for the production of the mangrove oyster Crassostrea tulipa. This study assessed the larval dispersal of C. tulipa in the Benin’s coastal lagoon.

First field estimation of greenhouse gas release from European soil-dwelling Scarabaeidae larvae targeting the genus Melolontha.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Arthropods are a major soil fauna group, and have the potential to substantially influence the spatial and temporal variability of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) sinks and sources.

Coagulative Granular Hydrogels with an Enzyme Catalyzed Fibrin Network for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...

Behavioral Ecology of an Invasive Species: Habitat and Mate Preference(s) in Drosophila Suzukii [PDF]

, 2017
The invasive Spotted-Wing fruit fly, Drosophila suzukii, has inflicted substantial economic losses to the soft-fruit agriculture industry worldwide due to the ability of females in this species to use a large, serrated ovipositor to cut the fruit’s skin ...

Cell-specific regulation of neuronal production in the larval frog retina [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 1987
We have previously postulated the existence of a feedback mechanism from differentiated neurons that regulates the production of new neurons. Evidence for such regulatory feedback comes from experiments in which dopamine-containing amacrine cells, ablated in the developing retina by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), were up-regulated in their production.

Dual‐Peptide Nanoplatform: Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Functionalized With a Cell‐Penetrating Peptide and Loaded With Rationally Designed Antimicrobial Peptides for Tuberculosis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning–guided engineering of a plectasin‐derived peptide yields DC05, a potent antimycobacterial candidate. Encapsulation into tuftsin‐functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles enhances intracellular delivery, stability, and activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis while maintaining low cytotoxicity and minimal hemolysis. The combined

Enhancing oocyte maturation and fertilisation in the black-foot limpet Patella candei d′Orbigny, 1840 (Patellidae, Mollusca)

Aquaculture Reports, 2021
Limpet species are subjected to pressures of high exploitation. In the Madeira Archipelago (Portugal), the limpes are an economic and traditional fishing resource whose exploitation is regulated, to reduce the impact over the native populations.
