Isopod feces-mediated shifts in germination timing enhance seedling establishment. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory because their defenses are underdeveloped and their capacity to tolerate damage is limited. However, how seedlings cope with such threats remains poorly understood. Animal feces may provide important chemical cues that influence plant responses to herbivory.

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development

Small, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Trehalose accumulation induced during the oxidative stress response is independent of TPS1 mRNA levels in Candida albicans [PDF]

, 2010
Growing cells of the Candida albicans trehalose- deficient mutant tps1/tps1 were extremely sensitive to severe oxidative stress exposure (H2O2). However, their viability was not affected after saline stress or heatshock treatments, being roughly ...

A Reproducible Workflow for Macrophage Membrane Isolation and Nanocore Selection Toward Bioinspired Nanoparticles Targeting Immunologically Cold Tumors

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A reproducible workflow is established for isolating macrophage membranes to enable the efficient preparation and characterization of membrane‐coated nanoparticles. By optimizing M2‐like nanovesicle stability and nanocore compatibility, this procedure advances the engineering of macrophage membrane‐coated nanoparticles with improved tumor targeting ...

In Vitro Development of Porcine Oocytes Following Intracytoplasmic Injection of Freeze-Dried Spermatozoa with Trehalose

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2014
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of trehalose as a cryoprotectant for porcine freeze-dried spermatozoa, to find the optimal freeze-drying time and storage periods of freeze-dried spermatozoa, and to find out pronuclear ...

Mutarotational Kinetics and Glass Transition of Lactose

, 2006
We report for the first time real time in situ and quantitative measurements of the mutarotation reaction of lactose in the solid state. The experiments have been performed by 13C NMR. We show that mutarotation is initiated on heating the amorphous state,

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...
