The Biology and Taxonomy of Head and Body Lice—Implications for Louse-Borne Disease Prevention

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of placental mammals including humans. Worldwide, more than 550 species have been described and many are specific to a particular host species of mammal [1].

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

A Taxonomy of Causality-Based Biological Properties [PDF]

, 2010
We formally characterize a set of causality-based properties of metabolic networks. This set of properties aims at making precise several notions on the production of metabolites, which are familiar in the biologists' terminology.

Carrier‐Free Nanocapsule with Dual‐Target Capacity for Synergistically Restoring Inflammatory Microenvironment and Microbiota Dysbiosis in Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This manuscript presents a carrier‐free nanomedicine PCNPs@PEG‐Man with dual‐targeting for IBD. It resists harsh intestinal conditions, reduces oxidative stress, enhances drug uptake and retention, modulates inflammation, and reshapes gut microbiota, offering a safe and effective IBD therapy.

Organization of the Proteostasis Network of Membraneless Organelles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A comprehensive mapping of the proteostasis network (PN) across membraneless organelles (MLOs) reveals how central PN components coordinate MLO regulation. The analysis uncovers principles of specificity and promiscuity within the PN. The findings suggest that HSP70 chaperones act as generic MLO regulators, while client specific HSP70 co‐chaperones may

Auxin‐Producing Pseudomonas Recruited by Root Flavonoids Increases Rice Rhizosheath Formation through the Bacterial Histidine Kinase Under Soil Drying

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drought is a major cause of crop losses across agricultural regions. Rhizosheath formation enhances plant resistance to drought. Polyploids may tolerate stress more effectively through increased interactions with bacteria. However, the contributions of tetraploid rice associated microbiota to rhizosheath formation under soil drying remain unclear ...
