Endogenous tassel-specific small RNAs-mediated RNA interference enables a novel glyphosate-inducible male sterility system for commercial production of hybrid seed in Zea mays L. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Hybrid crops produce higher yields than their inbred parents due to heterosis. For high purity of hybrid seeds, it is critical to eliminate self-pollination.

Vector-borne disease outbreak control via instant releases [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper is devoted to the study of optimal release strategies to control vector-borne diseases, such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and malaria. Two techniques are considered: the sterile insect one (SIT), which consists in releasing sterilized males among wild vectors in order to perturb their reproduction, and the Wolbachia one (presently used ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a conductive nerve guidance conduit integrated with wireless electrical stimulation through alternating magnetic fields, which induces currents and creates a supportive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. In vivo studies show that this approach significantly enhanced myelin restoration, gastrocnemius muscle regeneration ...

Identification of the First Nuclear Male Sterility Gene (Male‐sterile 9) in Sorghum
The Plant Genome, 2019 Core Ideas The male‐sterile 9 (ms9) is a novel nuclear male‐sterile mutant in sorghum. The Ms9 gene encodes a PHD‐finger transcription factor critical for pollen development.

Efficacy of the Sterile Insect Technique in the presence of inaccessible areas: A study using two-patch models [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, pp.109290The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is one of the sustainable strategies for the control of disease vectors, which consists of releasing sterilized males that will mate with the wild females, resulting in a reduction and, eventually a local elimination, of the wild population.

Analysis of the "Rolling carpet" strategy to eradicate an invasive species [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In order to prevent the propagation of human diseases transmitted by mosquitoes (such as dengue or zika), one possible solution is to act directly on the mosquito population. In this work, we consider an invasive species (the mosquitoes) and we study two strategies to eradicate the population in the whole space by a local intervention.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A multifunctional hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating integrated with silver‐gallium liquid metal nanoparticles (HAp‐Ag‐GaNPs) exhibits dual antibacterial and osteogenic properties. It effectively inhibits Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, including resistant strains, while enhancing bone regeneration.
