Trade-offs between personal immunity and reproduction in the burying beetle, N. vespilloides [PDF]
We know that parental investment and immune investment are costly processes, but it is unclear which trait will be prioritised when both may be required.

Further Characterization of the Mitigation of Radiation Lethality by Protective Wounding [PDF]
There continues to be a major effort in the United States to develop mitigators for the treatment of mass casualties that received high-intensity acute ionizing radiation exposures from the detonation of an improvised nuclear device during a radiological

Obstruction of Water Uptake in cut Chrysanthemum Stems after Dry Storage: Role of Wound-induced Increase in Enzyme Activities and Air Emboli [PDF]
Hydraulic conductance of cut chrysanthemum stems was lowered by the aspiration of air as well as by a wound-induced plant response. By measuring the hydraulic conductance of stem segments in which air could be introduced into and/or removed from the ...

The Provocative Roles of Platelets in Liver Disease and Cancer
Both platelets and the liver play important roles in the processes of coagulation and innate immunity. Platelet responses at the site of an injury are rapid; their immediate activation and structural changes minimize the loss of blood.

Phytohormones, especially jasmonates, are known to be mediators of the plant responses to wounding and herbivore feeding. Their role in such stress responses has been largely studied locally in treated leaves.

High-Resolution Infection Kinetics of Entomopathogenic Nematodes Entering Drosophila melanogaster
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been a useful model for studying wound healing in insects due to their natural mechanism of entering an insect host either through the cuticle or an orifice.

Lifetime glucocorticoid profiles in baleen of right whale calves: Potential relationships to chronic stress of repeated wounding by Kelp Gulls [PDF]
Baleen tissue accumulates stress hormones (glucocorticoids, GC) as it grows, along with other adrenal, gonadal and thyroid hormones. The hormones are deposited in a linear fashion such that a single plate of baleen allows retrospective assessment and ...

Evaluation of Trunk Injection Techniques for Systemic Delivery of Huanglongbing Therapies in Citrus
The bacterial pathogen associated with citrus huanglongbing (HLB) resides in the phloem of affected trees. The widespread abundance of the vector in Florida, the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri), and the location of the pathogen in the tree ...
