Mucuna pruriens (Velvet bean) Rescues Motor, Olfactory, Mitochondrial and Synaptic Impairment in PINK1(B9) Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Model of Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
, 2014 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) mutant for PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1B9) gene is a powerful tool to investigate physiopathology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Using PINK1B9 mutant Dm we sought to explore the effects of Mucuna pruriens

Small, Volume 20, Issue 37, September 12, 2024.This study introduces a novel synthetic cell technology utilizing dispersed liquid–liquid phase‐separated droplet‐supported lipid bilayers for ex vivo T cell expansion. By incorporating mobile ligands on soft synthetic cells, the technology enhances the expansion of regulatory CD8+ T cells with reduced immune suppression susceptibility.

Spirotetramat reduces fitness of the spotted‐wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 1222-1230, August 2024.Oral take up of spirotetramat by Drosophila suzukii females inhibits the activity of acetyl‐CoA decarboxylase (ACC) that is needed for fecundity and desiccation resitance. Abstract With climate change, the spotted‐wing Drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii) invades a great number of fruit production regions worldwide. A plethora of insecticides are being

Topological qubits from valence bond solids
, 2018 Topological qubits based on $SU(N)$-symmetric valence-bond solid models are constructed. A logical topological qubit is the ground subspace with two-fold degeneracy, which is due to the spontaneous breaking of a global parity symmetry.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract Aim Species responses to global warming will depend on intraspecific diversity, yet studies of factors governing biogeographic patterns of variability are scarce. Here, we investigate the evolutionary processes underlying genetic and phenotypic diversity in the flightless and cold‐adapted grasshopper Sigaus piliferus, and project its suitable ...

The molecular basis for apolipoprotein E4 as the major risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2019 Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is one of three (E2, E3 and E4) human isoforms of an -helical, 299-amino acid protein. Homozygosity for the ε4 allele is the major risk factor for developing late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
