Hydrogen persulfide and polysulfide (H2Sn) are newly discovered intracellular reactive species considered to have high protein S-sulfhydration efficiency. The detection of H2Sn in living systems is essential for studying their functions but quite challenging. In this work, we report a two-photon excited fluorescent probe, QSn, capable tracking organisms. QSn exhibited turn-on fluorescence response upon reaction with H2Sn. With favorable photophysical property, specificity, low cytotoxicity,...
Sialic acids are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, but their role in food allergies remains poorly understood. This study investigates the regulatory function of sialic acid (Neu5Ac) tropomyosin-induced allergic responses, with aim identifying potential therapeutic targets. In a C57BL/6N mouse model sensitized shrimp tropomyosin, Neu5Ac treatment alleviated symptoms, as evidenced by reduced anaphylaxis scores, lower levels allergen-specific antibodies and Th2 cytokines,...
Khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium Everts), one of the most important quarantine pests globally, is capable causing severe infestation and huge economic loss to stored grain, its interception rate has increased in major global trade countries over past few years. However, difficulties remain distinguishing this species with similar ones. In order assist border ports warehouses khapra beetle's effective rapid identification as well pest control at early stages monitoring or interception, we...
Abstract The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a destructive insect pest of wide range crops. Commensal bacteria play very important part in the development, reproduction, and fitness their host fly. Uncovering function gut has become worldwide quest. Using antibiotics to remove common method investigate function. In present study, three types (tetracycline, ampicillin, streptomycin), each with four different concentrations, were used test effect on diversity...
Abstract Bactrocera tsuneonis and minax are the most destructive pests that damage citrus in China. These key hinder trade, cause significant financial losses, drastically lower production quality, decrease farmer enthusiasm for planting. B. very similar all life stages. There limited morphological characteristics to differentiate adult species, it is nearly impossible these two species egg larval Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) a rapid robust diagnostic tool used identify...
Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a notorious agricultural pest worldwide, and its prevention control have been widely studied. Bacteria in the midgut of B. help improve host insecticide resistance environmental adaption, regulate growth development, affect male mating selection, among other functions. Insects an effective gut defense system that maintains self-immunity balance microorganisms gut, addition to stabilizing diversity symbiotic bacteria. However, detailed regulatory mechanisms...
