Liquid Phase Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy of Bacillus subtilis Spores

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Graphene encapsulation enables liquid‐phase BSE‐SEM to visualize subsurface architecture of whole, hydrated Bacillus subtilis spores without staining. This approach is applied to visualize dormant spores and subsequent structural changes during spore germination, while imaging across a range of beam energies and Monte Carlo simulations provide a ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

Heatwave‐Resilient Cuticular Microbiota Protect the Leaf Beetle Plagiodera versicolora From Fungal Infection

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves—extreme thermal events characterized by prolonged supra‐optimal temperatures—exert profound impacts on global ecosystem stability and species interactions. While the disruptive effects of thermal stress on host physiology and gut microbiota are well documented, the role of cuticular ...
