Habitat prevails over host sex in influencing mycobiome structure of terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare by Jiho Yang, Yehyeon Cha, Seung-Yoon Oh

“…Our findings revealed that the isopod mycobiome structure and taxonomic composition are predominantly shaped by the host’s habitat rather than its sex. While the fungal richness of the mycobiome varied based on isopod sex, the co-occurrence network exhibited distinct variations dependent on both habitat and host sex. …”

Convergent origin and accelerated evolution of vesicle-associated RhoGAP proteins in two unrelated parasitoid wasps by Colinet, Dominique, Cavigliasso, Fanny, Leobold, Matthieu, Pichon, Apolline, Urbach, Serge, Cazes, Dominique, Poullet, Marine, Belghazi, Maya, Volkoff, Anne-Nathalie, Drezen, Jean-Michel, Gatti, Jean-Luc, Poirié, Marylène

“…Gene duplication, accompanied by modification of the expression and/or function of one of the duplicates under the action of positive selection, followed by further duplication to produce multigene families of toxins is a well-documented process in venomous animals. This evolutionary model has been less described in parasitoid wasps, which use maternal fluids, including venom, to protect their eggs from encapsulation by the host immune system. …”

Quantitative proteomic analysis of residual host cell protein retention across adeno-associated virus affinity chromatography by Thomas M. Leibiger, Lie Min, Kelvin H. Lee

“…To better understand host cell protein (HCP) retention in adeno-associated virus (AAV) downstream processes, sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion mass spectra (SWATH-MS) was used to quantitatively profile residual HCPs for four AAV serotypes (AAV2, -5, -8, and -9) produced with HEK293 cells and purified using POROS CaptureSelect AAVX affinity chromatography. …”

Bridging the gap between objective and subjective well-being among first generation immigrants: exploring the role of religion and spirituality by Samadara Batuwanthudawa, Samitha Udayanga

“…The second theme demonstrates that religion functions as a cultural bridge, enabling immigrants to transfer familiar traditions and practices into their new environment. Overall, the process of reconnecting with home country based religious practices and spirituality allows immigrants to navigate the host country effectively, balancing the establishment of objective well-being with the preservation of valued cultural identities, and ultimately enhancing their subjective well-being.…”

“…Upon repatriation, many socio-psychological problems accompany the returnees to their home culture after spending a long time in the host culture. It is assumed that the returnees find no difficulty in re-adapting the life in their culture; however, many studies expound that re-adjustment in the home culture, particularly after spending a long time in another culture, is not an easy process, the returnees experience a re-entry or reversal cultural-shock. …”
