Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in B ibionomorpha ( D iptera)

Insects display adaptive diversity in their secretory systems, which mediate ecological interactions ranging from defence to adhesion. Within Diptera, the co-occurrence of silk and venom represents a rare functional combination. Here, we integrate multi-species transcriptomics, c...

PhotocatalyticHydrogen Production from CellobioseUsing TiO2@Pt(0.5) Immobilized Photocatalyst

Abstract Photocatalytic reforming of biomass-derived carbohydrates is a potentially promising route for sustainable hydrogen production under mild conditions. In this work, we investigated the photocatalytic reforming of cellobiose using TiO2@Pt(0.5) immobilized on a glass plate...

Common and rare stream diatoms respond differently to local, catchment and spatial drivers

Abstract The relative importance of environmental selection, dispersal, and demographic stochasticity in structuring aquatic communities remains poorly resolved, especially in human-impacted Neotropical regions. Using diatoms, we assessed how local environmental conditions, catch...

The Therapeutic Architecture of Chlorogenic Acids: Molecular Mechanisms in Chronic Disease Prevention

This review examines the structural variety, distribution, and physicochemical properties of chlorogenic acids (CGAs), identifying coffee and green coffee as the leading dietary sources of these compounds. Preclinical studies indicate that plant-derived phenolic compounds exhibit...
