Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Apparent Self-Fertility in Neurospora crassa [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1959
SUMMARY: Single ascospores which gave rise to temporarily self-fertile cultures were found in Neurospora crassa. Genetical and cytological evidence suggested that these ascospores were disomic for the chromosome containing the mating-type locus, the disomy having arisen following partial desynapsis at meiosis and unequal distribution of univalents.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Comparative study of the fecundity and fertility of Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818) and Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848) in a laboratory through self-fertilization and cross-fertilization Estudo comparativo da fecundidade e fertilidade de Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818) e Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848) em laboratório por autofecundação e fecundação cruzada

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2004
The aim of this study was to compare the fecundity and fertility of B. glabrata and B. straminea by cross- and self-fertilization. To attain this objective, laboratory-raised strains of B. glabrata and B. straminea were used.

Is self-fertilization possible in nudibranchs? [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2008
Nudibranchs are internally fertilized simultaneous hermaphrodites with a complex reproductive system (Gosliner, 1994). Even though their reproductive systems vary greatly in organization, adults normally copulate reciprocally with the gonopores aligned so that the penis of one animal can deposit free sperm in the vagina of the other (Hadfield & Swizer ...

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

Lactobacillus‐Loaded Bioadhesive Hydrogel with Prolonged Retention and Microenvironmental Remodeling for Endometrial Repair and Fertility Restoration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioactive adhesive hydrogel capable of long‐term uterine retention (>14 days) and local microenvironment modulation is developed by straightforward integration of α‐lipoic acid, L‐arginine, tannic acid, and Lactobacillus johnsonii, which can markedly enhance endometrial repair and restore fertility in a rat model of endometrial injury.

Fzd7 Restrains Pink1‐Dependent Mitophagy in Suture Stem Cells to Maintain Cranial Suture Patency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How suture stem cells fail to preserve cranial suture patency remains incompletely understood. Integrated single‐cell and high‐resolution spatial transcriptomic analyses identify reduced Fzd7 expression in Prrx1+ suture stem cells as an early feature of craniosynostosis.
