Major diet of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) over different developmental stages in rice-field: Agroecological interactions between fishes and rice in Sichuan, China, based on DN... by Mengling Wu, Ruisen Lu, Wenhao Huang, Hongyi Liu, Yan Zou, Ling Tao, Yun Sun, Qiong Wang, Keyi Tang

“…We examined variations in the dietary compositions of common carp across three developmental stages to capture adaptations to seasonal changes in food resource availability. Additionally, we detected insect pests (species from the genera Macrosteles and Mythimna) and weeds (Eleusine indica, Alternanthera philoxeroides, Mazus japonicus, and Poa annua) in the diets of common carp, confirming the ecological benefits of common carp in rice fields by reducing insect pests and weeds. …”

Tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from the bone marrow resist exhaustion and exhibit increased persistence in tumor-bearing hosts as compared with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by Ivan Borrello, Amy Thomas, Luca Biavati, Robert Leone, Elizabeth M Zawidzka, Claudio Zanettini, Luigi Marchionni

“…Importantly, in a competitive transfer experiment, BM T cells infiltrated the tumor more efficiently than TILs, displayed a higher polyfunctionality with interleukin-2, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α production and showed greater persistence compared with TILs.Conclusions T cells from the BM appear superior to TILs as a source of cells for cellular therapy. They possess a memory-enriched phenotype and exhibit improved effector function, greater persistence within a tumor-bearing host, and the capacity for increased tumor infiltration. …”

The neuropeptide sulfakinin is a peripheral regulator of insect behavioral switch between mating and foraging by Hong-Fei Li, Bao Dong, Yuan-Yuan Peng, Hao-Yue Luo, Xiao-Lan Ou, Zheng-Lin Ren, Yoonseong Park, Jin-Jun Wang, Hong-Bo Jiang

“…Further analysis of the mutant flies revealed that sets of odorant receptor (OR) genes were differentially expressed. Functional characterization of the differentially expressed ORs suggested that sulfakinin directly suppresses the expression of ORs that respond to opposite-sex hormones while enhancing the expression of ORs that detect food volatiles. …”
