Ecocriticism and Italy

, 2016
Written by one of Europe’s leading critics, Ecocriticism and Italy reads the diverse landscapes of Italy in the cultural imagination. From death in Venice as a literary trope and petrochemical curse, through the volcanoes of Naples to wine, food and environmental violence in Piedmont, Serenella Iovino explores Italy as a text where ecology and ...

Insect‐Microbe‐Based Laccase: Untapped Natural Resource for Industrial and Biotechnological Applications

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Tailoring a Functional Synthetic Microbial Community Alleviates Fusobacterium nucleatum‐infected Colorectal Cancer via Ecological Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The bottom‐up strategy based on multiomics data is used for the SynCom design, and it successfully inhibited F. nucleatum growth and achieved stable colonization in vivo. In addition, it promoted tryptophan metabolism and secondary bile acid conversion, reduced lipid accumulation, relieved microbiome disorder, decreased inflammatory reaction, and ...

JA‐Mediated Regulation of Amino Acid Homeostasis Adjusts Metabolic Flux and Enhances Spider Mite Tolerance via the SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6s Module in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates a novel SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6A/SlAVT6B module that effectively channels metabolic flux from primary to secondary metabolism, impacting plant growth, development, and resistance. Two novel vacuolar amino acid exporters, SlAVT6A and SlAVT6B, fine‐tunes trichomes, terpenes, and gibberellins, bolstering spider mite resistance.

Integrative Single‐Cell Analysis Reveals Iron Overload‐Induced Senescence and Metabolic Reprogramming in Ovarian Endometriosis‐Associated Infertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Iron overload in ovarian endometriosis (OE) disrupts follicular function and contributes to infertility. This study maps iron‐induced cellular changes using single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, revealing senescence phenotypes in OE patients and mouse models. Similar patterns are observed in aging ovaries, highlighting iron metabolism as a potential

Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals the Heterogeneity in Differentiation Trajectory and Tumor Microenvironment Leading to More Aggressive Phenotypes of Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Children and Young Adult Patients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
scRNA sequencing reveals distinct tumor ecosystem features in CAYA‐PTC, marked by enriched CD4T_Tfh, CD8T_Tex cells, and rapid malignant thyrocyte differentiation (absent of mild‐state BRAF‐like population) toward invasive states. Prominent emCAF_LAMP5 populations interact with endothelial cells and thyrocytes facilitate angiogenesis and metastasis ...

Accounting for ALA Natural Mutations Enhances the Efficiency of Graphene Oxide Nanopriming in Bar‐Modified Arabidopsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanopriming enhances plant resilience to environmental challenges; however, its effectiveness across diverse genetic backgrounds, including genetic modifications and natural variations, remains uncertain. These findings demonstrate that nanopriming improves efficacy when natural genetic variations are considered, particularly in genetically modified ...

Higher Dietary Fibre Increases the Faecal Microbiome Diversity of Golden Lion Tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia)

Animals
Gut microbiota influences host energetics, metabolic rate, and overall health. Optimising the diet, such as by increasing dietary fibre, is a key strategy for promoting a healthy microbiome and improving host energy balance.
