Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Modulation of Negative Work Output from a Steering Muscle of the Blowfly Calliphora Vicina [PDF]
, 1994 Of the 17 muscles responsible for flight control in flies, only the first basalar muscle (b1) is known to fire an action potential each and every wing beat at a precise phase of the wing-beat period.

Insect‐Inspired Resilient Machines
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a decentralized resilient control for legged robots, enabling self‐organized locomotion and rapid adaptation to extreme leg loss within seconds. It encodes the self‐embodied resilience strategies observed in stick insects and relies on neural dynamics with synaptic plasticity, minimal sensory feedback, and dynamic robot–environment ...

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Problem setting The emergence of therapeutic proteins has coincided with an increase of acute adverse immunostimulation (AIS). AIS has occured in clinical trials despite compliance with regulatory guidelines on preclinical evaluation and its incidence is anticipated to increase even further.

One size does not fit all [PDF]
, 2014 Comparing the anatomies of more than 100 different species of ants reveals that worker ants have enlarged necks, not seen in queens, that allow them to lift and carry objects many times heavier than ...

Apprasial of the surface anatomy of the Thorax in an adolescent population
Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y. Print), 2019 Surface anatomy is considered a fundamental part of anatomy curricula and clinical practice. Recent studies have reappraised surface anatomy using CT, but the adolescent age group has yet to be appraised.
