Zinc Alleviates Gut Barrier Dysfunction by Promoting the Methylation of AKT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zinc activates the ZNG1‐METAP1 complex to elevate intracellular SAM levels, which promotes PRMT5‐mediated symmetrical dimethylation of AKT at R391 and R15. This epigenetic modification facilitates AKT membrane translocation and mTORC2 activation, thereby enhancing epithelial proliferation and gut barrier integrity.

Anatolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) retina: Comparative expression of synaptophysin, NeuN, calbindin‐D28k, parvalbumin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and Iba‐1 during pre‐hibernation and hibernation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hibernation induces significant molecular and cellular adaptations in the retina to maintain function under reduced metabolic conditions. This study aimed to investigate the expression of neuronal, synaptic, and glial markers in the retina of Spermophilus xanthoprymnus during pre‐hibernation and hibernation periods using immunohistochemical ...

Population Dynamics of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Two Rural Villages in Southern Mexico: Baseline Data for an Evaluation of the Sterile Insect Technique

Insects, 2021
Simple Summary Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are the most important mosquito vectors of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus. There is growing interest in the control of these vectors using the sterile insect technique in which large numbers of ...

Engineering antibodies with cancer‐associated binding sites

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review describes antibodies that perform direct/indirect roles in cancer treatment by binding to effective targets and discusses how antibodies kill tumors and modulate tumor microenvironment through these targets. The classification of expression systems for antibody production is summarized to guide appropriate selection based on different ...

STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE TO COMBAT DENGUE

LIFE: International Journal of Health and Life-Sciences, 2016
Global warming and globalization indicate the next biggest challenge is zoonotic diseases. Dengue is one of the fastest growing tropical pandemic in the world. There are no approved vaccines for the dengue virus. Prevention thus depends on control of and protection from the bites of the mosquito that transmits it, the dengue mosquito, and Aedes aegypti.

STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE: A MODEL FOR DOSE OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVED STERILE INSECT QUALITY

Florida Entomologist, 2007
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly pest control technique with application in the area-wide integrated control of key pests, including the suppression or elimination of introduced populations and the exclusion of new introductions.

Remating in Ceratitis capitata sterile males: Implications in sterile insect technique programmes

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2021
AbstractSterile insect technique (SIT) is used, among other biological control tools, as a sustainable measure for the management of Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) in many agricultural regions where this pest can trigger severe economic impacts.

Green Propolis Extract‐Mediated Synthesis of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles: In Vitro Antileishmanial and Antibacterial Activities, Cytotoxicity and Ex Vivo Irritation Testing

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study describes the green synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained from green propolis (AgNPs‐PRO). Before nanoparticles synthesis, a hydroethanolic green propolis extract (GPE) was obtained through ultrasound‐assisted extraction and characterized by high‐performance liquid ...

Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.
