Development of a Stage- and Species-Specific RNAi System for Molecular Insights in Trichogramma Wasps

Insects
Trichogramma wasps, egg parasitoids widely used to control lepidopteran pests, have long eluded in-depth molecular mechanistic studies due to their minute size and genetic tool scarcity. While previous RNAi efforts were restricted to T.

Stably transmitted defined microbial community in honeybees preserves Hafnia alvei inhibition by regulating the immune system

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The gut microbiota of honeybees is highly diverse at the strain level and essential to the proper function and development of the host. Interactions between the host and its gut microbiota, such as specific microbes regulating the innate immune system ...

Energetic Offset in Organic Solar Cells‐ Importance, Confusion and Outlook

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Energetic offsets in organic solar cells (OSCs) remain a subject of debate due to measurement‐ and lab‐dependent discrepancies. This Perspective clarifies the physical origins of these variations and identifies temperature‐dependent electro‐optical methods as a reliable approach to obtain consistent offset values.

Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions [PDF]

, 2016
Reaction-diffusion analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth.

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Wolbachia infection facilitates adaptive increase in male egg size in response to environmental changes

Scientific Reports
Under challenging conditions such as maladapted biotic and abiotic conditions, females can plastically adjust their egg size (gamete or zygote size) to counteract fitness declines early in life.
