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 ...

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.

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

Fungal diversity in larval diets of Melipona interrupta: Impacts on queen development and survival [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology
Stingless bees like Melipona interrupta play vital ecological roles and rely on diverse microbial communities in their larval food. This study investigated the impact of fungal diversity on larval development and caste differentiation.

Studies on Resistance to Vegetative (Vip3A) and Crystal (Cry1A) Insecticidal Toxins of Bacillus thuringiensis in Heliothis virescens (Fabricius) [PDF]

, 2009
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins expressed in commercial transgenic crop varieties are all δ-endotoxins (Cry toxins) but the identification of novel vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip toxins) has extended the range of insecticidal proteins derived

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.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

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.
