Mechanically Enhanced, Antibacterial, and Double‐Network Hydrogel Flexible Sensors for Sleep Apnea Monitoring

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This report describes the preparation of an antibacterial hydrogel sensor from a polyvinyl alcohol/silk fibroin double network, tannic acid‐coated liquid metal, and copper particles, with an ethanol post‐treatment using a multi‐level structural regulation strategy. The obtained hydrogel is evaluated in the context of respiratory monitoring.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Circadian regulation of night feeding and daytime detoxification in a formidable Asian pest Spodoptera litura

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Zhang et al. show that the circadian gene coupling between night feeding and day detoxification is regulated through the binding of circadian elements to E-boxes in Spodoptera litura, one of the most difficult Asian agricultural pests to control ...

Seasonal phenotype‐specific expression of microRNAs during metamorphosis in the European map butterfly Araschnia levana

open access: yes, 2020
The European map butterfly (Araschnia levana ) is a well‐known example of seasonal polyphenism because the spring and summer imagoes exhibit distinct morphological phenotypes.

Protein-based materials, toward a new level of structural control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Through billions of years of evolution nature has created and refined structural proteins for a wide variety of specific purposes. Amino acid sequences and their associated folding patterns combine to create elastic, rigid or tough materials.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect 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.

Flavones Produced by Mulberry Flavone Synthase Type I Constitute a Defense Line against the Ultraviolet-B Stress

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Flavones, one of the largest classes of flavonoids in plants, have a variety of bioactivities and participate in the resistance response of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

open access: yesInsect 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.
