Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

Kaempferol Protects Intestinal Health in Chinese Forest Musk Deer Possibly by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibiting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

The triple radiologic asthma phenotype is associated with worse disease control

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: Global
Background: Efforts have been made to combine radiographic biomarkers such as bronchiectasis or bronchial wall thickness (BWT) for the purpose of identifying asthma subphenotypes and their clinical implications. Objective: Our aim was to assess whether a

Diet–Microbiome–Immune Interactions at the Gut Mucosa in Food Allergy: Mechanisms, Gaps, and Therapeutic Implications

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mucosal surfaces are sites of highly dynamic interactions among epithelial and immune cells, environmental exposures, particularly dietary inputs, and the diverse microbial communities and their metabolites. These elements continually influence each other to maintain homeostasis and ensure appropriate immune discrimination between pathogens ...

Persistent mucus plugs in proximal airways are consequential for airflow limitation in asthma

JCI Insight
BACKGROUND Information about the size, airway location, and longitudinal behavior of mucus plugs in asthma is needed to understand their role in mechanisms of airflow obstruction and to rationally design muco-active treatments.METHODS CT lung scans from ...

Clinical Validity of the Oral Frailty Five‐Item Checklist (OF‐5) for the Diagnosis of Oral Hypofunction

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to clinically validate the Oral Frailty Five‐item Checklist (OF‐5) by clarifying the relationship between its score and the diagnosis of oral dysfunction, as well as its association with seven sub‐items. Background Assessing oral frailty is important for preventing frailty in older adults. The recently developed OF‐5

Sex Differences in Health‐Related Quality of Life in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer—A Prospective Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To analyse sex differences in health‐related quality of life (HRQL) before, during and up to 3 months posttreatment of head and neck cancer, and to examine the importance of salivary secretion rate for HRQL posttreatment. Methods Patients were recruited before starting curative oncologic treatment.
