Tick-borne Relapsing Fever and Borrelia hermsii, Los Angeles County, California, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The primary cause of tick-borne relapsing fever in western North America is Borrelia hermsii, a rodent-associated spirochete transmitted by the fast-feeding soft tick Ornithodoros hermsi. We describe a patient who had an illness consistent with relapsing

Savicalin, a lipocalin from hemocytes of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2010
Savicalin, is a lipocalin found in the hemocytes of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi. It could be assigned to the tick lipocalin family based on BLAST analysis. Savicalin is the first non-salivary gland lipocalin described in ticks. The mature sequence is composed of 188 amino acids with a molecular mass of 21481.9 Da.

Controlled Peptide Capture and Release in 3D‐Printed Multimaterial Microstructures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Two‐photon laser printing of 3D microstructures using a peptide‐containing ink is shown. The microstructures allow for controlled capture and release of target peptides through coiled‐coil interaction with the printed peptide inside the material. Based on these properties, orthogonal capture and stimuli‐mediated release possibilities inside printed ...

Emergent 3D Fermiology and Magnetism in an Intercalated Van der Waals System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An emergent three‐dimensional electronic state is uncovered in an intercalated van der Waals system. A spin‐polarized intercalant‐host hybridized band crossing the Fermi level provides an itinerant channel for interlayer exchange, highlighting how electronic dispersion governs magnetic dimensionality.

Evaluating Functional Dispersal in a Nest Ectoparasite and Its Eco-Epidemiological Implications

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Functional dispersal (between-site movement, with or without subsequent reproduction) is a key trait acting on the ecological and evolutionary trajectories of a species, with potential cascading effects on other members of the local community.

Matrix Stiffness Enhances Odontogenic Differentiation of DPSCs through Membrane Curvature Protein Baiap2‐Modulated Exosome Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness softening is identified as a previously underappreciated feature in deep caries. Higher stiffness drives exosome release in dental pulp stem cells through a coordinated mechanism involving PI3K–AKT‐regulated Baiap2 and kinesin‐1, thereby promoting odontogenic differentiation.
