Abstract The evolution of resistance to drugs and pesticides poses a major threat human health food security. Neonicotinoids are highly effective insecticides used control agricultural pests. They target the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor mutations that confer have been slow develop, with only one field‐evolved mutation being reported date. This is an arginine‐to‐threonine substitution at position 81 nAChR_β1 subunit in neonicotinoid‐resistant aphids. To validate role R81T...
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant
<div>Abstract<p>Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant <i>in vivo</i> models has limited our insight into the development aggressive disease. The Th-<i>MYCN</i> genetically engineered mouse model develops rapidly progressive chemosensitive neuroblastoma lacks clinically relevant metastases. To study tumor progression in context more...
