Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...

Agricultural Fungicide Mancozeb in Leaf Litter Enhances Survival and Growth of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mancozeb is one of the most widely used agricultural fungicides, exhibiting strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. However, its widespread application comes at the cost of environmental contamination. Here, we show the effects of Inga vera leaf litter contamination with Mancozeb on life‐history traits of Aedes ...

Efficacy of repellent products against caged and free flying Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The efficacy of 9 repellents (8 commercial repellents and one product under development) was evaluated on the skin at dosages of 0.65 and 1.7 mg of product/cm2, the latter dosage being the industrial standard for deet based repellents.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.
