The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

The Natural Quassinoid Brusatol Enhances Venetoclax Efficacy and Overcomes Resistance in Myeloid Leukemias

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the mechanisms by which the natural quassinoid brusatol induces apoptosis in myeloid leukemias and enhances venetoclax efficacy via p53‐dependent apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. ABSTRACT While venetoclax‐based combinations have shown promising results in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the remission duration is ...

Effects of Common Food Additives Kappa‐, Iota‐ and Lambda‐Carrageenans on Intestinal Epithelial Cell Activation and Barrier Disruption

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Carrageenans, widely used food additives, disrupted intestinal epithelial integrity in a gut‐on‐a‐chip model. All types (κ‐, ɩ‐, λ‐) induced cytotoxicity, inflammation and tight junction (TJ) disruption, triggering TNF‐mediated immune responses. λ‐Carrageenan had the most severe effects, supporting the Epithelial Barrier Theory linking food additives ...
