Soft ticks perform evaporative cooling during blood-feeding [PDF]

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2020
Abstract Feeding on the blood of warm-blooded vertebrates is associated to thermal stress in haematophagous arthropods. It has been demonstrated that blood-sucking insects protect their physiological integrity either by synthesising heat-shock proteins or by means of thermoregulatory mechanisms.

Multiplexed Detection of Respiratory Viruses Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectroscopy With Ultrathin Carbon Nanomembranes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An ultrathin azide‐functionalized carbon nanomembrane (N3‐CNM) provides a versatile biointerface for antibody immobilization on gold SPR sensors. Integrated with a multichannel SPR platform, the functionalized surface enables label‐free, simultaneous detection of SARS‐CoV‐2, Influenza A, and RSV antigens, demonstrating the potential of CNM‐based ...

Programmable Microgel Degradation in Dynamic Granular Hydrogels Guides Extracellular Matrix Assembly During Tissue Repair

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports on the chemical modification of hyaluronic acid to create hydrogels with hydrolytic degradability ranging from 2–28 days. Granular hydrogels that undergo timed degradation to increase porosity enhance cell invasion and provisional ECM remodeling in a muscle injury model, leading to reduced fibrosis and improved regeneration ...

DISTRIBUTION OF TICKS AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH BORRELIA IN SEMNAN PROVINCE

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1999
A faunistic study was carried out to estimate the frequency and distribution of different species of ticks and their association with intermittent relapsing fever, in 1995. In this study, during a course of 18 months, 78 villages were examined in 4 towns

The Major Tick Salivary Gland Proteins and Toxins from the Soft Tick, Ornithodoros savignyi, Are Part of the Tick Lipocalin Family: Implications for the Origins of Tick Toxicoses [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2003
The origins of tick toxicoses remain a subject of controversy because no molecular data are yet available to study the evolution of tick-derived toxins. In this study we describe the molecular structure of toxins from the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi. The tick salivary gland proteins (TSGPs) are four highly abundant proteins proposed to play a role

A Critical Review on the Evolution of Chitosan‐Based Injectable Hydrogels in Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The graphical illustration depicts hydrogel formulation using chitosan and biocompatible cross‐linkers, major advantages, and incorporation of cells, osteoinductive factors, and therapeutic drugs. Following injection, pH‐responsive gelation enables controlled drug release, promotes cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation, enhances extracellular

Seasonal Activity of Ticks and their Importance in Tick-Borne Infectious Diseases in West Azerbaijan, Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2008
Background: West Azerbaijan is considered as a main region for domestic animal breeding. Due to importance of herd as a main host and ticks as a vector of relapsing fever and CCHF, a comprehensive study was undertaken in the region.

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.
