The pharyngeal taste organ of a blood-feeding insect functions in food recognition

BMC Biology
Background Obligate blood-feeding insects obtain the nutrients and water necessary to ensure survival from the vertebrate blood. The internal taste sensilla, situated in the pharynx, evaluate the suitability of the ingested food.

The Impact of Environmental Pollution and Climate Change on Allergic Rhinitis and Lung Diseases

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution and climate change seriously affect human health, leading to the onset and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and lung diseases. Over the past several decades, increasing air pollution and environmental exposure owing to global urbanization, industrialization, and rapid economic ...

Research Progress on Upper Airway Cough Syndrome

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) has been identified as a significant contributor to chronic cough in various national guidelines. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis, the lack of clarity surrounding its diagnostic criteria, and its overlap with other etiologies of chronic cough present considerable challenges in both diagnosis and ...

Comorbidity Patterns Between Hearing Loss and Symptomatic Dizziness in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the comorbidity patterns between hearing loss and symptomatic dizziness (HL‐SD) in middle‐aged and older adults. Methods This cross‐sectional study used data from the 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). After excluding incomplete data, 2961 participants aged 40–69 were analyzed. Logistic

Neuropeptide FF/neuropeptide AF receptors in GtoPdb v.2025.3

IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology CITE
The Neuropeptide FF receptor family contains two subtypes, NPFF1 and NPFF2 (provisional nomenclature [12]), which exhibit high affinities for neuropeptide FF (NPFF, O15130) and RFamide related peptides (RFRP: precursor gene symbol NPVF, Q9HCQ7). NPFF1 is broadly distributed in the central nervous system with the highest levels found in the limbic ...

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

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

Insect 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.
