MicroRNA‐375‐3p Targets Fatty Acid Synthase and Relish to Regulate Energy Allocation During Pupal Metamorphosis and Starvation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
During pupal metamorphosis and starvation, elevated 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) and suppressed insulin trigger Forkhead box O (FOXO) nuclear translocation, enhancing miR‐375‐3p expression. This downregulates fatty acid synthase (FASN) and Relish, promoting lipid breakdown for energy while prioritizing antioxidant responses over immune functions to support

PM10 Impairs CD56dim NK Cell Cytotoxicity via FNBP1 Suppression to Exacerbate Rheumatoid Arthritis: Insights from Multimodal Multi‐Omics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study, through multi‐omics approaches and animal models, revealed that air pollutant PM10 exacerbates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing FNBP1 expression and impairing the cytotoxic function of CD56dim NK cells. The “PM10–FNBP1–NK cells” axis provided novel insights into the environmental pathogenesis of RA and suggested ...

Tick-borne pathogen detection in midgut and salivary glands of adult Ixodes ricinus

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The tick midgut and salivary glands represent the primary organs for pathogen acquisition and transmission, respectively. Specifically, the midgut is the first organ to have contact with pathogens during the blood meal uptake, while salivary ...

Genome‐Wide Association Study Reveals Insect Genetics and Microbial Symbiont Effects on Susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the Citrus Greening Pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic and microbial factors influencing the susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the citrus greening pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), employing a microbiome Genome Wide Association Study. The research identifies a key gene encoding an MFS‐type transporter contributing to CLas infectivity and abundance in

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Doehl et al. discovered an adaptive neuroimmune mechanism that induces itch in tick‐exposed guinea pigs, enabling rapid tick removal. This itch‐induced tick removal (IITR) is mediated by an adaptive cellular immune response and is independent of IgG, IgE, or TRPV1.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the cheek in a child: A case report

open access: yesDental Research Journal, 2014
Salivary gland tumors are rare in children and, when they do arise, they mainly affect the major salivary glands. Minor salivary gland tumors are rare in children and are responsible for less than 10% of the cases.

An antigen-driven B-cell response within the salivary glands of patients with Sjögren’s syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Infection with a bacterium or virus induces the production of antibodies, specialised protein molecules that bind to and eliminate the microorganism.

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

open access: yes, 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
