The horizontal transmission of endosymbionts between hosts and parasitoids plays a crucial role in biological control, yet its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the dynamics of horizontal transfer of (Ccep) from the rice moth, , to its parasitoid, . Through PCR detection and phylogenetic analysis, we demonstrated the presence of identical Ccep strains in both host and parasitoid populations, providing evidence for natural horizontal transmission.

In recent years, food allergies and food sensitivities have remained critical public health problems that affect approximately 15% of the global population. Wheat is a major food source worldwide, but it is also a common food allergen. Celiac disease is chronic immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals; it can be treated only through strict gluten avoidance.

High-entropy-alloy (HEA) nanocrystals hold immense potential for catalysis, offering virtually unlimited alloy combinations through the inclusion of at least five constituent elements in varying ratios. However, general and effective strategies for synthesizing libraries of HEA nanocrystals with controlled surface atomic structures remain scarce. In this study, a transferable strategy for developing a library of facet-controlled seed@HEA nanocrystals through seed-mediated growth is presented.

Background: Nose deviation deformities pose a complex cosmetic and functional problem. The most common surgical intervention to manage such deformities is septorhinoplasty, typically performed by a plastic surgeon or a rhinologist. This study investigated the effect of a combined operation by a plastic surgeon and rhinologist, comparing them with those operations performed singlehandedly by a plastic surgeon.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed data from 39 RP patients, examining relationships between visual acuity, OCT, fundus autofluorescence imaging, and microperimetric measures, ultimately identifying critical parameters that impact vision loss.
  • * A visual function index was created based on the count of deep scotoma points in the parafoveal inner ring, revealing that patients with four or more scotoma points are likely to experience significant vision impairment.
