Empirical evidence that metabolic theory describes the temperature dependency of within-host parasite dynamics. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2018
The complexity of host-parasite interactions makes it difficult to predict how host-parasite systems will respond to climate change. In particular, host and parasite traits such as survival and virulence may have distinct temperature dependencies that ...

Bridging Performance and Fate: A Framework for Sustainable, Composite‐Based Flexible Electronic Systems

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Composite‐based flexible electronics integrate biodegradable polymers, conductive networks, and multilayer device architectures to balance electrical performance, mechanical durability, and controlled degradation. Interfacial engineering and encapsulation regulate transport stability and operational lifetime, while programmed disassembly enables ...

When discovery meets neglect: rethinking disease emergence in cutaneous leishmaniasis and other neglected tropical diseases

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
Recent reports of Leishmania donovani causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Nepal have revived a key question in disease ecology: when does a disease truly emerge, and when is it simply newly recognized?

Sleeping site ecology, but not sex, affect ecto- and hemoparasite risk, in sympatric, arboreal primates (Avahi occidentalis and Lepilemur edwardsi)

Frontiers in Zoology, 2017
Background A central question in evolutionary parasitology is to what extent ecology impacts patterns of parasitism in wild host populations. In this study, we aim to disentangle factors influencing the risk of parasite exposure by exploring the impact ...

Assessment of helminth biodiversity in wild rats using 18S rDNA based metagenomics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Parasite diversity has important implications in several research fields including ecology, evolutionary biology and epidemiology. Wide-ranging analysis has been restricted because of the difficult, highly specialised and time-consuming processes ...

Nanostructured Deep Eutectic Systems in Healthcare: From Bioactive Solvents to Intelligent Biointerfaces, Wearables, and AI‐Driven Design

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Beyond the green solvent paradigm, this review redefines Deep Eutectic Systems (DES) as programmable supramolecular nanoassemblies. We survey their biomedical convergence: stabilizing thermolabile mRNA to enable cold chain‐free logistics, reshaping transdermal microneedle delivery, enabling long‐term wearables via eutectogels, and utilizing Generative ...

Plasma–Kinetic Coupling and Redox Mechanisms in the Degradation of Acid Red 51 by Atmospheric Corona Discharge

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the degradation of the xanthene dye Acid Red 51 (ARE‐51) using atmospheric‐pressure corona discharge plasma, integrating electrical characterization, optical emission spectroscopy (OES), kinetic modeling, and physicochemical analysis to establish a unified plasma–liquid interaction framework. A degradation efficiency of

Marine‐Derived Type I Collagen From Scyliorhinus canicula: Extraction, Characterization, and Biomedical Applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Marine‐derived type I collagen is extracted from Scyliorhinus canicula skin and characterized by physicochemical and morphological analyses. The collagen exhibits excellent biocompatibility, promotes wound healing, reduces inflammatory mediators, and inhibits melanogenesis.

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Community ecology of the metazoan parasites of white sea catfish, Netuma barba (Osteichthyes: Ariidae), from the coastal zone of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Between March 2000 and April 2001, 63 specimens of N. barba from Angra dos Reis, coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro (23°0'S, 44°19'W), Brazil, were necropsied to study their infracommunities of metazoan parasites.
