Interactions between microbial communities and the host can modulate mosquito biology, including vector competence. Therefore, future vector biocontrol measures will utilize these interactions and require extensive monitoring of the mosquito microbiome. Metabarcoding strategies will be useful for conducting vector monitoring on a large scale.

The hypothalamus is one of the most complex region in the central nervous system regarding neuroanatomy, neurochemical content, neuropeptide/classical neurotransmitter interactions, physiological actions, and pathophysiology. Hypothalamic neuropeptides have been involved in a large plethora of mechanisms related with obesity, anxiety, feeding, energy metabolism, defensive behavior, mood, and reproduction. The therapeutic potential of these findings is enormous but the physiological complexity occurring in the hypothalamus is huge due in part to the interactions between numerous neuropeptides as well as between neuropeptides and other neuroactive substances.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on stress-induced PFC plasticity, encompassing structural, functional, and molecular changes. We examine how chronic stress leads to dendritic atrophy, spine loss, and alterations in neuronal connectivity within the PFC, particularly affecting the medial PFC.

The transport of metabolites across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) is crucial for maintaining energy balance and efficient distribution of metabolic intermediates between cellular compartments. Under abiotic stress, mitochondrial function becomes particularly critical, activating complex signaling pathways essential for plant stress responses. These pathways modulate stress-responsive gene expression, influencing key physiological processes such as cell respiration and senescence, helping plants adapt to stress.
