Nanomedicine, the most promising approach for regulated and targeted drug delivery, is frequently applied in cancer treatment. Essentially, accumulating evidence indicates that nanomedicine has positive results in the treatment of breast cancer (BC), with many BC patients benefiting from nanomedicine-related treatments. Currently, nanodrug delivery systems based on stimulus responses are gaining popularity because of their additional ability to manage drug release depending on the interior environment of the cancer.

The early and mature larvae of Pselaphacus procerus Kuhnt, 1910 are described here for the first time and the adult male and female are redescribed. The description of the larvae of this species represents the second of Pselaphacus immatures. The early larvae of this species are easily separated from mature larvae, by the absence of dorsal sclerotized plates on the abdomen of the former.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe discovery of Mimogonus fumator (Fauvel, 1889) in a suburban area in Central Florida marks the first record of this pantropical species in the United States of America. This finding emphasizes the critical significance of insect monitoring in urban environments, as it unveils the potential for detecting non-native and potentially invasive species accidentally transported through soil and ornamental plants. A taxonomic key and distributional checklist for the known species of the subfamily Osoriinae in the Southeastern United States are also provided.
