Natural antibacterial silk produced by feeding silkworms with human hair derived carbon dots
Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Blue‐fluorescent and antibacterial carbon dots, prepared from Crinis Carbonisatus (a traditional Chinese medicine made by calcinating human hair), are fed to silkworms to produce multifunctional silk, which retains its inherent mechanical properties, exhibits blue fluorescence, possesses antibacterial activity, and promotes the wound healing of rats as

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects
VIEW, EarlyView.Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.
