Host tree unsuitability recognized by pine shoot beetles in flight

Summary In spring, the landing rate of flying European pine shoot beetles,Tomicus piniperda L., on injured Scots pine diminishes as colonization continues. This is due to olfactory cues that indicate progressive host degradation. Verbenone was shown to play a role in the beetle's recognition of this unsuitability of a formerly suitable host, since the compound was increasingly released from colonized tree sections as they aged, but not from uninfested sections. Also, the release of verbenone at natural rates in the forest inhibited the attraction of beetles to host monoterpenes.     

口蹄疫病毒持续感染的研究进展

口蹄疫病毒(foot-and-mouth disease virus,FMDV)能引起偶蹄动物患一种名为口蹄疫(foot-and-mouth disease,FMD)的高度接触性、发热性、急性的传染病.FMD的大规模爆发会导致整个国家或地区的动物和动物相关制品产量降低、贸易受限,造成巨大的经济损失.FMDV持续感染是造成FMDV容易蔓延并难以根除的重要原因.该文综述了FMDV持续感染期间病毒在体内的存在位置与感染特性,并以病毒与宿主细胞、宿主免疫系统之间的相互作用为重点,介绍了持续感染相关机制研究进展,总结了疫情防控相关策略,以期为解决FMDV持续感染问题提供参考.

Scavenger receptor family proteins: roles for atherosclerosis, host defence and disorders of the central nervous system

In this review, we summarize the structure and function of the scavenger receptor family of proteins including class A (type I and II macrophage scavenger receptors, MARCO), class B (CD36, scavenger receptor class BI), mucinlike (CD68/macrosialin, dSR-CI) and endothelial (LOX-1) receptors. Two motifs have been identified as ligand-binding domains a charged collagen structure of type I and II receptors, and an immunodominant domain of CD36. These structures can recognize a wide range of negatively charged macromolecules, including oxidized low-density lipoproteins, damaged or apoptotic cells, and pathogenic microorganisms. After binding, these ligands can be either internalized by endocytosis or phagocytosis, or remain at the cell surface and mediate adhesion or lipid transfer through caveolae. Under physiological conditions, scavenger receptors serve to scavenge or clean up cellular debris and other related materials, and they play a role in host defence. In pathological states, they mediate the recruitment, activation and transformation of macrophages and other cells which may be related to the development of atherosclerosis and to disorders caused by the accumulation of denatured materials, such as Alzheimer's disease.
