Tick salivary protein Cystatin: structure, anti-inflammation and molecular mechanism
Ticks and Tick-Borne DiseasesTicks are blood-sucking ectoparasites that secrete immunomodulatory substances in saliva to hosts during engorging. Cystatins, a tick salivary protein and natural inhibitor of Cathepsins, are attracting growing interest globally because of the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A self‐healable polymer matrix, crosslinked via dynamic imine bonds, is synergistically coupled with a LiPF6–LiDFOB dual‐salt system to decouple Li+ from the polymer matrix, enabling fast Li+ transport. This strategy offers an effective pathway toward high‐performance, next‐generation gel‐polymer‐based Li‐metal batteries.

Magneto‐Ionic Devices With Polymer‐Based Electrolytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Polymer electrolytes are introduced for magneto‐ionic devices based on hydroxide and hydrogen ions. The magneto‐ionic effect results in a pronounced voltage‐controlled variation of coercivity in both devices. The switching speed is in the range of 100 ms.

Ticks infected via co-feeding transmission can transmit Lyme borreliosis to vertebrate hosts
Scientific Reports, 2017 Vector-borne pathogens establish systemic infections in host tissues to maximize transmission to arthropod vectors. Co-feeding transmission occurs when the pathogen is transferred between infected and naive vectors that feed in close spatiotemporal ...

Multidimensional‐Encoded High‐Fidelity Spectrometers With a Floating‐Base Bipolar Junction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A floating‐base bipolar junction photodetector enables multidimensional spectral encoding through synergistic gate‐ and drain‐bias modulation of interfacial barrier matching. The resulting complementary spectral responses form a diverse, weakly correlated response matrix, enabling robust and high‐fidelity spectral reconstruction even at sub‐nanoampere ...
