The Effect of Ligand Reactivity and Carrier Mechanics on Thiol‐Mediated Cellular Uptake for miRNA Nano‐Drugs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The effect of ligand reactivity and carrier mechanics on thiol‐mediated uptake was investigated at the single‐molecule/particle level. The interaction kinetics of LA and AspA with membrane thiols were quantified; AspA is more efficient due to the higher binding affinity, greater binding stability, and more double‐disulfide binding, as well as greater ...

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Upscaling biodiversity monitoring: Metabarcoding estimates 31,846 insect species from Malaise traps across Germany

bioRxiv
Mitigating ongoing losses of insects and their key functions (e.g., pollination) requires accurately tracking large-scale and long-term community changes.
