Abstract Ecological research requires large samples for statistical validity, typically hundreds or thousands of individuals, which are most efficiently gathered by mass‐collecting techniques. For the study interspecific interactions, molecular gut‐content analysis enables detection arthropod predation with minimal disruption community interactions. Field experiments have demonstrated that standard mass‐collection methods, such as sweep netting, vacuum sampling and foliage beating, sometimes...
Abstract Biallelic Parkin (PRKN) mutations cause autosomal recessive Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, the role of monoallelic PRKN as a risk factor for PD remains unclear. We investigated single heterozygous in three large independent case-control cohorts totalling 10 858 cases and 8328 controls. Overall, after exclusion biallelic carriers, were more common than controls conferring >1.5-fold increase [P-value (P) = 0.035], with meta-analysis (19 574 468 488 controls) confirming...
Oncolytic replicating adenoviruses are a promising new modality for the treatment of cancer. Despite assumed biologic advantage continued viral replication and spread from infected to uninfected cancer cells, early clinical trials demonstrate that efficacy current vectors is limited. In xenograft tumor models using immune-incompetent mice, wild-type adenovirus also rarely able eradicate established tumors. This suggests innate immune mechanisms may clear virus or barriers within prevent...

The CD47/SIRPα axis conveys a 'don't eat me' signal, thereby thwarting the phagocytic clearance of tumor cells. Although blocking antibodies targeting CD47 have demonstrated promising anti-tumor effects in preclinical models, clinical trials involving human cancer patients not yielded ideal results. Exploring regulatory mechanisms is imperative for devising more efficacious combinational therapies. Here, we report that inhibiting USP2 prompts degradation and reshapes microenvironment (TME),...
The tiny parasitoid wasp, Encarsia formosa, has been used successfully to control greenhouse whiteflies (GHWFs) in greenhouses many countries throughout the world. Therefore, there considerable interest developing methods for artificially rearing this wasp. However, little information is available concerning regulation of its development including host-parasitoid interactions that are required complete life cycle. Here we confirm developmental rates differ significantly based upon host...
