Three dimensional reconstruction of energy stores for jumping in planthoppers and froghoppers from confocal laser scanning microscopy

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Jumping in planthopper and froghopper insects is propelled by a catapult-like mechanism requiring mechanical storage of energy and its quick release to accelerate the hind legs rapidly.

Modulating hierarchical self-assembly in thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered proteins through high-temperature incubation time

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The cornerstone of structural biology is the unique relationship between protein sequence and the 3D structure at equilibrium. Although intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not fold into a specific 3D structure, breaking this paradigm, some IDPs ...

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA

open access: yesQuantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

Mandibular gnathobases of marine planktonic copepods – feeding tools with complex micro- and nanoscale composite architectures

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2015
Copepods are dominant members of the marine zooplankton. Their diets often comprise large proportions of diatom taxa whose silicified frustules are mechanically stable and offer protection against grazers. Despite of this protection, many copepod species

Material Properties and Morphology of Prestomal Teeth in Relation to the Feeding Habits of Diptera (Brachycera)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Prestomal teeth are cuticular projections on the mouthparts of some fly species that rasp surfaces when feeding. Although prestomal teeth morphology has been reported for several fly species, their material properties have not been investigated.

Topology‐Encoded Charge Polarity Governs Multiphase Organization in Intrinsically Disordered Protein Polymer Condensates

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 52, 16 September 2026.
Electrostatic topology is shown to program phase separation and internal organization in thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered protein polymer (IDPP) condensates. By comparing oppositely charged IDPPs with a covalent diblock, chain connectivity is revealed to control charge compensation, dense‐phase micropolarity, miscibility, and apparent acid ...

Proteome‐Wide Prediction of Putative Bemisia tabaci Effector Candidates and Transient Validation of BtApe‐Mediated Suppression of Tomato Immune Responses

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
The workflow illustrates the process of identifying and preliminarily validating the functionality of effectors in Bemisia tabaci. The proteome of B. tabaci served as the initial input for a multiparameter effector prediction pipeline, which integrates secretory features, subcellular targeting predictions, and parallel computational tools to generate a
