Summary: Lenvatinib has replaced Sorafenib as the preferred treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. To enhance its efficacy, researchers developed nanoparticle delivery systems using copper sulfide nanocrystals and gold nanoparticles wrapped in galactosamine conjugated poly(lactide-co-glycolide). These nanoparticles exhibit stability and release the drug rapidly in the tumor microenvironment, aided by near-infrared-II photothermal effect. The combination therapy significantly improves the efficacy of Lenvatinib and offers a multifunctional delivery system for enhanced HCC treatment.

Summary: The newly discovered magnetotactic spirillum XQGS-1 from Xingqinggong Lake in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China, represents a novel genus of the Alphaproteobacteria class. In addition to forming magnetite crystals, XQGS-1 cells also biomineralize submicrometer calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate granules intracellularly, indicating that magnetotactic bacteria are an important microbial group for intracellular calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate biomineralization.

Summary: The study found that the pathogenic fungus M. rileyi has good control effect on fall armyworm. Field trials showed that application of M. rileyi granules alone can significantly reduce fall armyworm larval populations and plant damage, and combining with other control measures can further improve the effect.

Summary: Current therapeutic strategies for AHF rely on traditional inotropic agents, which often have adverse effects. There is a need for new and safer approaches. Istaroxime, a novel compound unrelated to cardiac glycosides, is being studied for AHF treatment. Its effects are related to activation of SERCA2a and inhibition of NKA activity, with advantages of lower arrhythmogenic action and increased systolic blood pressure without affecting heart rate. However, it has a limited half-life and associated adverse effects.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive review of the application of ML in ABMs, focusing on four major scenarios and investigating related algorithms, frameworks, procedures, and applications. ML can improve prediction in ABMs by balancing variance and bias, and it can enhance sequential decision-making by reinforcing behavioral intervention for microagents and macrolevel policymakers.

Summary: In this study, amino-capped polyamidoamine dendrimer was used as a macromolecular template to form amino-modified calcium phosphate hollow sphere for drug delivery application. The system loaded with 5-fluorouracil performed synergistic cancer chemotherapy by inducing calcium overload and reactive oxygen species accumulation in cancer cells, leading to apoptosis. The delivery system showed high tumor inhibition via chemotherapy with minimal impact on normal cells and organs, demonstrating good biocompatibility.

Summary: This study investigated compounds that target human and insect muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which are novel targets for synergistic agents in pest control. The researchers used molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation to study the conformational changes of these receptors in response to different ligands and proposed a potential strategy using bitopic ligands for better insect control.

Summary: A new species of broad-nosed weevil, Epicaerus panamensis, is described in this study. The specimens were collected on or around potato cultivars in Tierras Altas de Chiriqui, Panama. Detailed images of the field, habitus, male and female genitalia, as well as feeding damage caused by the weevils on potato leaves, are provided. The species is compared to a closely related species, Epicaerus inaequalis, and discussed in terms of their morphological affinities and taxonomic placement.

Summary: Vector-borne diseases, transmitted by insects, are a significant threat to global human and animal health. Their emergence is influenced by factors such as environmental changes, host characteristics, and human behavior. The One Health approach is necessary to comprehensively investigate tick-borne diseases and understand the complex interactions between environmental, animal, and human health.

Summary: The genomes of eusocial insects allow the production and regulation of highly distinct phenotypes, largely independent of genotype. Eusociality has evolved convergently in at least three insect orders, but eusocial phenotypes show remarkable similarity. Increased regulatory complexity and the adaptive evolution of chemical communication are common genomic signatures of eusociality. Colony life itself can shape genomes of divergent taxa in a similar manner.

Summary: Butterfly wings, with their rich phenotypic diversity and complex biological functions, serve as a crucial system for studying the genetic basis and evolution of phenotypic diversification. Recent studies have revealed the complex functions and genetic and environmental factors involved in determining wing patterns. These factors lead to inter-specific divergence, genetic polymorphism, and phenotypic plasticity, often controlled by key genes. Gene co-option has also been identified as an important mechanism for functional complexity and evolutionary novelty. However, further research is needed for a systematic and comprehensive understanding.
