Engineered Tissue Models to Decode Host–Microbiota Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Host–Microbiota interactions in the human body. Created in BioRender. Ghezzi, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ihivskg. Abstract A mutualistic co‐evolution exists between the host and its associated microbiota in the human body. Bacteria establish ecological niches in various tissues of the body, locally influencing their physiology and functions, but ...

Prey body size mediates the predation risk associated with being "odd" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Despite selection pressures on prey animals to maintain phenotypically homogeneous groups, variation in phenotype within animal groups is commonly observed.

Intraguild predation and competition impacts on a subordinate predator [PDF]

open access: yesOecologia, 2016
Intraguild (IG) predation and interspecific competition may affect the settlement and success of species in their habitats. Using data on forest-dwelling hawks from Finland, we addressed the impact of an IG predator, the northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis (goshawk), on the breeding of an IG prey, the common buzzard Buteo buteo.

Effect of risk and incentives on contracts: The case of farm operators in Iowa

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Longitudinal data on Iowa landowner–operator contracts are used to examine how the mean, variance, and skewness of expected farmland returns affected contract terms from 2008 to 2019. To control for unobserved operator risk preferences and ability as a fixed effect, the sample includes operators with multiple contracts.

Pangenome Analysis of the Plant Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae Reveals Unique Natural Products for Niche Adaptation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A pangenome analysis of the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae reveals two novel natural product families that facilitate niche adaptation. Comprehensive genomic and chemical analyses uncover unique biosynthetic gene clusters linked to host specificity and environmental fitness.

Hyperpolarization Modulation of the T‐Type hCav3.2 Channel by Human Synenkephalin [1–53], a Shrew Neurotoxin Analogue without Paralytic Effects

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Human synenkephalin [1–53] (hSYN), an analogue peptide of shrew saliva neurotoxins, was synthesized and its structural characteristics studied. Synthetic hSYN potently activated the T‐type voltage‐gated Ca channel hCav3.2 but did not paralyze mealworms. These findings offer new insight into neurological disorder treatment and evolutionary mechanisms of

Investigating Social Immunity in Swarming Locusts via a Triple Animal–Robot–Pathogen Hybrid Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores social immunity in gregarious locusts using a groundbreaking animal–robot–pathogen interaction model. By comparing locust responses to biomimetic agents mimicking healthy and infected individuals, significant behavioral changes are revealed.

Functional Ambidexterity of an Ancient Nucleic Acid‐Binding Domain

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The (HhH)2‐Fold is an ancient and ubiquitous nucleic acid‐binding domain. We demonstrate that this domain, which interacts with the minor groove of dsDNA, is functionally ambidextrous – that it can bind to dsDNA of either chirality. Moreover, binding of both chiral forms of dsDNA is mediated by an overlapping binding surface.
