Dermacentor ticks and their human pathogens in various ecosystems of eastern France

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Dermacentor is Europe’s second most important tick genus. It comprises two species: Dermacentor reticulatus, which has a more northerly range, and Dermacentor marginatus, which is typically found in Mediterranean regions.

Driving forces for changes in geographical distribution of Ixodes ricinus ticks in Europe

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Many factors are involved in determining the latitudinal and altitudinal spread of the important tick vector Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Europe, as well as in changes in the distribution within its prior endemic zones.

Temperature‐Enhanced Supramolecular Polymer Adhesion Provided by Concurrent Utilization of Calix[4]Pyrrole and Crown Ether Molecular Recognition

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Simultaneous utilization of calix[4]pyrrole‐ and crown ether‐based molecular recognition allows the construction of a high molecular weight alternating supramolecular polymer. This heat processible polymer can be used as a durable and reusable adhesive on glass and steel with temperature‐enhanced adhesion strength without the need for a solvent ...

Prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection and effect on lamb growth [PDF]

, 2011
Background: A major challenge in sheep farming during the grazing season along the coast of south-western Norway is tick-borne fever (TBF) caused by the bacteria Anaplasma phagocytophilum that is transmitted by the tick Ixodes ricinus.

Identification of a novel ß-adrenergic octopamine receptor-like gene (ßAOR-like) and increased ATP-binding cassette B10 (ABCB10) expression in a Rhipicephalus microplus cell line derived from acaricide-resistant ticks [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important parasite of livestock. Effective control of ticks using acaricides is threatened by the emergence of resistance to many existing compounds. Several continuous R.

Tunable Synthetic Hydrogel Modulates Hepatic Lineage Specification of Human Liver Organoid

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a synthetic hydrogel is reported that supports the formation of hiPSC‐derived human liver organoids (HLOs). Hepatic lineage specification can be modulated via conjugation of RGD peptide to hydrogel: RGD‐conjugated hydrogels promote cholangiocyte differentiation, whereas RGD‐free hydrogels favor hepatocyte commitment of HLO cells.

Engineering Topographical Cues to Enhance Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury: Overcoming Challenges and Advancing Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...
