Semaglutide lowers body weight in rodents via distributed neural pathways.
JCI Insight, 2020 Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog, induces weight loss, lowers glucose levels, and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes. Mechanistic preclinical studies suggest weight loss is mediated through GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs)

Bacterial microbiota protect an invasive bark beetle from a pine defensive compound
Microbiome, 2018 Background There is growing evidence that some devastating biotic invasions are facilitated by microbial symbionts. The red turpentine beetle (RTB), an innocuous secondary insect attacking weakened trees in North America, has formed an invasive complex ...

Helicoverpa armigera miR-2055 regulates lipid metabolism via fatty acid synthase expression
Open Biology, 2022 Insect hormones and microRNAs regulate lipid metabolism, but the mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Here, we found that cotton bollworm larvae feeding on Arabidopsis thaliana (AT) leaves had a lower triacylglycerol (TAG) level and more delayed ...

Population cycles and outbreaks of small rodents: ten essential questions we still need to solve
Oecologia, 2020 Most small rodent populations in the world have fascinating population dynamics. In the northern hemisphere, voles and lemmings tend to show population cycles with regular fluctuations in numbers.
