Leave‐One‐Chromosome‐Out Association Testing Decodes Uncapping Behaviour in Honeybees During Varroa destructor Infestation

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Using an MLM‐LOCO framework with linear and logistic mixed models, we identified three overlapping SNPs and nine candidate genes underlying honeybee's uncapping behavior against Varroa destructor. These robust markers provide a reliable genetic foundation for marker‐assisted breeding of Varroa‐resistant colonies, advancing future sustainable apiculture

Drugs that act on both G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and kinases: potentiation of effects, side effects and general aspects of drug pleiotropy

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3471-3483, July 2026.
Abstract Background A drug designed for a specific target often interacts with multiple targets, either unintentionally or as part of its intended mechanism of action. This has been called pharmacological pleiotropy or polypharmacology. There are key endogenous ligands such as ATP, GABA and glutamate that act on various proteins in humans. Furthermore,

The Wire Is Not the Territory: Understanding Representational Drift in Olfaction With Dynamical Systems Theory

Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Representational drift is a phenomenon of increasing interest in the cognitive and neural sciences. While investigations are ongoing for other sensory cortices, recent research has demonstrated the pervasiveness in which it occurs in the piriform cortex for olfaction.

Expressions of Olfactory Proteins in Locust Olfactory Organs and a Palp Odorant Receptor Involved in Plant Aldehydes Detection

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The main chemosensory organs of locusts consisted of the antennae and the mouthparts (maxillary and labial palps), which are suggested to perform different functions.

Characterization of odorant binding and chemosensory protein families in the kissing bug Triatoma infestans: comparative analysis among Heteroptera species.

BMC Genomics
Background Plasticity in sensory perception and tolerance to xenobiotics contributes to insects’ adaptive capacity and evolutionary success, by enabling them to cope with potentially toxic molecules from the environment or internal milieu.

A Highly Selective Biosensor Based on Peptide Directly Derived from the HarmOBP7 Aldehyde Binding Site

Sensors, 2019
This paper presents the results of research on determining the optimal length of a peptide chain to effectively bind octanal molecules. Peptides that map the aldehyde binding site in HarmOBP7 were immobilized on piezoelectric transducers.

Identification of musk compounds as inhibitors of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease by molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
As new drug development is a long process, reuse of bioactives may be the answer to new epidemics; thus, screening existing bioactive compounds against a new SARS-CoV-2 infection is an important task.

Identification and Functional Characterization of the Leg-Enriched Chemosensory Protein PxylCSP9 in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Biology
Plutella xylostella, a major pest of cruciferous vegetables, depends predominantly on chemoreception to locate host plants. Legs are crucial in insect chemical perception, particularly during close-range and contact chemoreception. However, the molecular

Nematicidal action of Clonostachys rosea against Meloidogyne incognita: in-vitro and in-silico analyses

Journal of Taibah University for Science
Clonostachys rosea is a biocontrol agent against a wide range of pests and diseases. In the present study, an in-vitro nematicidal activity of C. rosea has been documented by observing the behavioural response of Meloidogyne incognita (Mi) towards the ...
