Molecular mechanism of ATP‐binding cassette transporter‐mediated insecticide resistance

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Advances in functional genomics (RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9) and artificial intelligence‐driven structure prediction (e.g., AlphaFold) are elucidating how ATP‐binding cassette transporters mediate insecticide resistance to both synthetic chemicals and Bacillus thuringiensis toxins.

Harnessing Jasminum Bioactive Compounds: Updated Insights for Therapeutic and Food Preservation Innovations

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1093-1128, May 2025.
Jasminum bioactives improve food preservation by providing antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, especially when incorporated into active packaging, edible films, and nanoformulations that enhance stability and controlled release. They also offer many pharmacological benefits, including anti‐inflammatory, neuroprotective, and wound‐healing properties.

Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Hymenopteran‐specific TRPA channel from the Texas leaf cutter ant (Atta texana) is heat and cold activated and expression correlates with environmental temperature

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 301-320, February 2025.
Texas leaf cutter ant (Atta texana) populations have expanded northward and their obligate symbiotic fungus has increased cold tolerance. The ants have exquisitely temperature sensitive antennae; here, we find the antennae express a subset of six transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including HsTRPA.

Chemical Tools for Probing the Ub/Ubl Conjugation Cascades

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2, 2025.
Post‐translational modification by ubiquitin (Ub) and ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubl) regulate a diverse array of cellular pathways. Ub/Ubl conjugation is orchestrated by a cascade of specialized E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. Here, we review chemical tools and methods implemented to probe enzymatic activities and to capture and characterize fleeting chemical ...

Population genomics of seal lice provides insights into the postglacial history of northern European seals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.
Abstract Genetic analyses of host‐specific parasites can elucidate the evolutionary histories and biological features of their hosts. Here, we used population‐genomic analyses of ectoparasitic seal lice (Echinophthirius horridus) to shed light on the postglacial history of seals in the Arctic Ocean and the Baltic Sea region.

Resilin in Insect Flight Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 35, August 28, 2024.
The development of resilin‐based biomaterials for medical and industrial applications has been constantly advanced in recent years. Resilin is a rubber‐like protein that occurs in arthropod exoskeleton structures. In the insect flight system, its function depends on its overall location, protein sequence and mixture with stiffer exoskeleton components.
