Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates the M13 bacteriophage as a biomimetic nanovector capable of crossing in vitro models of the blood–brain barrier. By exploiting peculiar transcellular pathways, M13 avoids lysosomal degradation and preserves its structural integrity and functionality.

A conserved role for stomatin domain genes in olfactory behavior
eneuro, 2022 ABSTRACT The highly-conserved stomatin domain has been identified in genes throughout all classes of life. In animals, different stomatin domain-encoding genes have been implicated in the function of the kidney, red blood cells, and specific neuron types, though the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. In one well-

Transposition and Intermingling of Galphai2 and Galphao afferences into single vomeronasal glomeruli in the Madagascan lesser Tenrec Echinops telfairi. [PDF]
, 2009 The vomeronasal system (VNS) mediates pheromonal communication in mammals. From the vomeronasal organ, two populations of sensory neurons, expressing either Galphai2 or Galphao proteins, send projections that end in glomeruli distributed either at the ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Evolution of Gene Expression in the Drosophila Olfactory System
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2008 Host plant shifts by phytophagous insects play a key role in insect evolution and plant ecology. Such shifts often involve major behavioral changes as the insects must acquire an attraction and/or lose the repulsion to the new host plant's odor and taste.

Expression of odorant receptor family, type 2 OR in the aquatic olfactory cavity of amphibian frog Xenopus tropicalis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent genome wide in silico analyses discovered a new family (type 2 or family H) of odorant receptors (ORs) in teleost fish and frogs. However, since there is no evidence of the expression of these novel OR genes in olfactory sensory neurons (OSN), it ...

Host location in a specialist parasitoid wasp via olfactory cues – a physiological, behavioural and morphological study [PDF]
, 2012 For successful host location, parasitoids are thought to have evolved different strategies to filter relevant olfactory cues which indicate the presence of the host. Because of their versatility in their ecology and behaviour, as well as their fine tuned

Evolution of olfactory receptors in birds [PDF]
, 2023 Olfaction is an evolutionary ancient sensation, and is the perception and interpretation of chemical stimuli from surrounding air or water. Olfaction is an essential sensory modality for nearly all animals, and is used to define territories, to identify ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fibronectin 1 (FN1)‐expressing subicular subpopulations encode novel object preference and selectively govern retrieval of novel object recognition (NOR) via affecting excitability of entorhinal‐projecting circuit through large conductance Ca2+‐activated potassium (BK) channel. ABSTRACT Novel object recognition (NOR), referring to the cognitive ability
