Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Salivary Glands of Two Populations of Rice Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, That Differ in Virulence

PLoS ONE, 2013
Background The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), a destructive rice pest in Asia, can quickly overcome rice resistance by evolving new virulent populations.

Smart Gated Hollow Mesoporous Silica Hydrogel for Targeting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Promoting Periodontal Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The hollow mesoporous silica loaded with quercetin (HM‐QU@PEG) is combined with a thermosensitive anti‐bacterial matrix (TF127) to prepare HQUP@TF127. HQUP@TF127 effectively eliminates excessive ROS, alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress, relieves mitochondrial calcium overload, and blocks the p53‐dependent apoptotic cascade. Furthermore, it enhances

Avian malaria co-infections confound infectivity and vector competence assays of Plasmodium homopolare. [PDF]

, 2018
Currently, there are very few studies of avian malaria that investigate relationships among the host-vector-parasite triad concomitantly. In the current study, we experimentally measured the vector competence of several Culex mosquitoes for a newly ...

Salivary secretion in health and disease

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2018
Saliva is a complex fluid produced by 3 pairs of major salivary glands and by hundreds of minor salivary glands. It comprises a large variety of constituents and physicochemical properties, which are important for the maintenance of oral health.

Hologenomics Reveals Specialized Dietary Adaptations in the Mengla Snail‐Eating Snake

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dietary adaptation studies from a holobiome perspective are scarce beyond mammals. This research reveals how genomic and microbial interactions drive dietary specialization in the Mengla snail‐eating snake, with evidence of gut symbiont convergence between reptiles and mammals.

Venomous secretions from marine snails of the Terebridae family target acetylcholine receptors [PDF]

, 2013
Venoms from cone snails (Conidae) have been extensively studied during the last decades, but those from other members of the suborder Toxoglossa, such as of Terebridae and Turridae superfamilies attracted less interest so far. Here, we report the effects
