By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Modelling the suppression of a malaria vector using a CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive to reduce female fertility

BMC Biology, 2020
Background Gene drives based on CRISPR-Cas9 technology are increasingly being considered as tools for reducing the capacity of mosquito populations to transmit malaria, and one of the most promising options is driving endonuclease genes that reduce the ...

Lab-scale characterization and semi-field trials of Wolbachia Strain wAlbB in a Taiwan Wolbachia introgressed Ae. aegypti strain.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Dengue fever is one of the most severe viral diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, with traditional approaches of disease control proving insufficient to prevent significant disease burden.

Experimental population suppression of Richardson's ground squirrels (Spermophilus richardsonii) in Alberta [PDF]

, 1972
Richardson's ground squirrel is one of the most economically harmful rodents in east central Alberta. In an effort to develop an effective, safe, economical and practical method of long-term population control over large areas, experimental field testing

Complete quantum control of the population transfer branching ratio between two degenerate target states

, 2004
A five-level four-pulse phase-sensitive extended stimulated Raman adiabatic passage scheme is proposed to realize complete control of the population transfer branching ratio between two degenerate target states.

A delayed differential equation model for mosquito population suppression with sterile mosquitoes

Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems - B, 2020
The technique of sterile mosquitoes plays an important role in the control of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, west Nile, and Zika.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Comparative analysis of sterile mosquito release strategies based on a population suppression model

AIMS Mathematics
In this paper, we proposed a model for suppressing mosquito populations, evaluating various release strategies for sterilized mosquitoes, including constant continuous release, open-loop control, closed-loop control, and composite control strategies.

Adapting non-invasive human recordings along multiple task-axes shows unfolding of spontaneous and over-trained choice

eLife, 2021
Choices rely on a transformation of sensory inputs into motor responses. Using invasive single neuron recordings, the evolution of a choice process has been tracked by projecting population neural responses into state spaces. Here, we develop an approach

R Symmetries in the Landscape

, 2005
In the landscape, states with $R$ symmetries at the classical level form a distinct branch, with a potentially interesting phenomenology. Some preliminary analyses suggested that the population of these states would be significantly suppressed. We survey
