Assessment of crop loss caused by Chilo partellus in maize

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021
The crop loss assessment in the present study is based on the premise that yield loss caused by maize stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) depends upon the degree of leaf injury measured in the form of leaf injury rating (LIR) that would help in ...

Toward High‐Resolution Polymeric Neural Interfaces: A Practical Guide for Electron Beam Lithography

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electron beam lithography (EBL) enables sub‐micron patterning of polymer‐based neural implants, overcoming the resolution limits of optical lithography. By addressing challenges such as charging, non‐planarity, and substrate heating, it supports higher channel density, improved miniaturization, and better long‐term tissue integration.

New Method to Calculate the Angular Weighting Function for a Scattering Instrument: Application to a Dust Sensor on Mars

Sensors, 2022
Suspended dust above the Martian surface is an important element in Martian climatology. In the frame of the Exomars’22 mission, we developed a dust sensor instrument, designed to provide size parameters of dust particles suspended in Mars surface from ...

Autophagy Orchestrates Anti‐Tumor Immunity to Enhance Chemosensitivity via the FBXW2/C/EBPβ/TIMP‐2 Axis in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy leverages tumor‐cell autophagy to reshape the colorectal cancer immune microenvironment. Autophagy degrades FBXW2 to promote C/EBPβ‐mediated TIMP‐2 transcription and MMP‐9 suppression, driving intra‐tumoral CD8+ T‐cell infiltration. Targeting MMP‐2/9 or restoring TIMP‐2 overcomes chemo‐resistance in autophagy‐deficient tumors. ABSTRACT The

Phase Separation, Material State, and Condensate Fate in Mammalian Autophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomolecular phase separation has emerged as a key organizing principle in macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy). In mammalian cells, phase‐separated condensates not only serve as substrates for selective degradation, but also act as dynamic platforms for cargo recognition, signaling integration, and autophagosome assembly.

Perceived control as a resilience factor: associations with neural, physiological and affective stress responses and mental health

Translational Psychiatry
Perceived control is a key mechanism implicated in stress resilience. A tendency to perceive control over stressors may protect individuals against negative outcomes across various situations by increasing active coping and preventing exacerbated stress ...

Impact of the NK Cell Receptor LIR-1 (ILT-2/CD85j/LILRB1) on Cytotoxicity against Multiple Myeloma

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
The role of different receptors in natural-killer- (NK-) cell-mediated cytotoxicity against multiple myeloma (MM) cells is unknown. We investigated if an enhancement of NK-cell-mediated cytotoxicity against MM could be reached by blocking of the ...

Liraglutide ameliorates cerebral ischemic injury in diabetic rats by regulating microglia/macrophage polarization through inhibition of NOX2 expression

陆军军医大学学报, 2022
Objective To investigate the effects of liraglutide (Lir) on microglia/macrophage polarization and on the expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX2) in the ischemic brain tissue of diabetic rats with focal cerebral ischemia.
