Summary: Studies have investigated the impact of environmental factors on blowfly larvae development, particularly on the allocation of speed between feeding and post-feeding stages, and the compensatory effect. Results showed different blowfly species have distinct developmental strategies and speed allocations. Developmental speed more often accumulates through life stages and results in larger variability in later development instars.

Summary: There are well-established connections between acute inflammation and successful tissue repair. Innate immune reactions play a significant role in pathogen clearance and activation of subsequent reparative events. A network of molecular and cellular regulators supports antimicrobial and tissue repair functions throughout the healing process. A balance must be achieved between protection and the potential for collateral tissue damage associated with overt inflammation. This review summarizes the contributions of key cellular and molecular components to the acute inflammatory process and the timely transition towards activation of tissue repair mechanisms. Furthermore, it discusses how the disruption of inflammatory responses ultimately leads to chronic non-healing injuries.

Summary: This study investigated MRI evidence of ACL healing, patient-reported outcomes, and knee laxity in patients with acute ACL rupture managed non-surgically with the CBP. The results showed that 90% of patients had evidence of ACL healing on the 3-month MRI, and better healing was associated with improved outcomes.

Summary: Chronic wounds pose a significant healthcare challenge globally, primarily due to bacterial biofilms hindering healing. This systematic review examines the interaction between larval therapy and chronic wound biofilms. The findings highlight that larval therapy, involving the controlled application of blowfly larvae, acts on chronic wound bacteria biofilms through the secretion and excretion of biologically active substances. However, further research is needed to standardize the methodology and bridge knowledge gaps in this area.

Summary: Wound healing is a crucial process for restoring the integrity and function of the skin and other tissues after injury. Photothermal therapy (PTT), which uses photothermal agents (PTAs) to convert near-infrared radiation into heat, has emerged as a promising technique for wound healing. This comprehensive review discusses the physiological mechanisms and influencing factors of wound healing, commonly used PTAs, strategies for designing nanocomposites for multimodal combination treatment, and methods to improve the therapeutic efficacy of PTT. The challenges of PTT in wound healing are also addressed, along with future directions for research.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of organophosphate pesticides on the activity and movement patterns of necrophagous fly larvae. The presence of Terbufos altered the activity and mobility of intoxicated larvae in a dose-dependent manner, with different responses observed in different fly species.

Summary: The Calliphoridae (blowflies) are important for forensic science, veterinary management, medical science, and economic issues. This study presents a comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes among the Calliphoridae and reconstructs the phylogenetic relationship of this family within the larger context of the other Oestroidea. The results indicate that the gene arrangement, codon usage, and base composition are conserved within the Calliphoridae, and the Chrysomyinae are sister taxon to Luciliinae + Calliphorinae.

Summary: The microbiota of mosquitoes plays a significant role in their biology, impacting processes from larval development to adulthood. By manipulating the microbiota during the larval stage, it is possible to alter mosquito life history traits. Bacteriophages can be used as tools to modulate the mosquito microbiota, providing a potential mechanism for mosquito control.

Summary: An injectable self-healing hydrogel with mild photothermal therapy has been developed to accelerate wound healing. The hydrogel improved mechanical strength and had photothermal conversion properties, achieving accelerated wound healing through in vitro cell proliferation and in vivo tissue regeneration. This research provides new inspirations for complicated wound management.

Summary: This paper investigates a delayed Nicholson equation with delay harvesting term proposed as open problems and conjectures. Stability switching curves are obtained by taking two delays as parameters using a method introduced by An et al. The existence of Hopf singularity on a two-parameter plane is determined by the varying direction of two parameters, and the normal form near the Hopf singularity is derived through the application of center manifolds theory and normal forms method of FDEs. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the theoretical conclusions.
