Peptide‐based antibacterial nanoplatforms: Design principles, stimuli‐regulated behaviors, and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Peptide‐based antibacterial nanoplatforms, encompassing self‐assembled peptides and peptide‐engineered inorganic, polymeric, and lipid nanocarriers, are systematically reviewed. The article highlights design principles and stimuli‐responsive regulation for improving peptide stability, delivery efficiency, and antibacterial performance.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

A Plant-Derived Antifungal Agent, Poacic Acid, Inhibits Germination and Tube Growth of Lily Pollen

Plants
Poacic acid is a novel natural antifungal agent. It inhibits the growth of fungal cells, including budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by inhibiting the synthesis of β-1,3-glucan, which is a major component of the fungal cell wall.

Nucellar beak structure and pollen tube growth in Cucurbitaceae [PDF]

, 2014
The nucellar beak is a proboscis-like outgrowth of the nucellus at the micropylar end, being the obliged path for the pollen tube entering the ovule. Among the few angiosperm families with nucellar beak, Cucurbitaceae is remarkable because the pollen ...

Nanomaterials‐Decorated Biomass‐Derived Carbon for Overall Water Splitting: Interfacial Engineering, Mechanistic Insights, and Device Translation

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Biomass‐derived carbon provides a sustainable, porous, and conductive scaffold that stabilizes nanomaterials for bifunctional hydrogen evolution reaction/oxygen evolution reaction catalysis. This review summarizes design strategies (defects, heteroatom doping, heterostructures, single atoms), mechanistic/density functional theory insights, degradation ...

Air investigation of some alternative methods to agrobacterium and protoplast transformation for introducing exogenous genes into plants, based on the use of pollen as a vector [PDF]

, 1987
Some of the problems involved in the search for alternative plant transformation vectors have been examined. In particular the use of pregerminated pollen as a direct transformation vector has been investigated.

Leukocyte profiles reveal sex and age differences in immune investment in a polygynous bat

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Analysis of over 500 blood cell profiles, including repeat samples over four years, reveals that male bats from a long‐lived species with a polygynous mating system invest more in innate than adaptive immunity. Investment in innate immunity increases with age, as estimated by a DNA methylation clock and mark‐recapture data.

Stimulation of Nicotiana tabacum pollen tube growth by γ-irradiation

, 1989
Irradiation of pollen grains from Nicotiana tabacum with 60Co-γ-irradiation in the dose range of 1–6Gy stimulates growth of the pollen tube up to 50% above control level.

Pollinator community composition and pollen resource use in calcareous grasslands under different landscape contexts across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.
