Article Abstract

In the present paper, two new genera of the Prabhasa Moore, 1878 / Zadadra Moore, 1878 generic complex are described: Dentadra gen. nov. (Type species: Prabhasa flavicosta Moore, 1878) and Prabadra gen. nov. (Type species: Prabadra occidentalis sp. nov.). Additionally, two new species are described: Prabadra occidentalis sp. nov. (NE India and N Thailand) and Zadadra confusa sp. nov. (Nepal, NE India, Bhutan and W China). The new synonymy is established: Zadadra distorta Moore, 1872 = Zadadra neodistorta Joshi, Kirti N. Singh, 2015, syn. nov. Two new combinations are established: Dentadra flavicosta (Moore, 1878), comb. nov. and Prabadra monastyrskii (Dubatolov, 2012), comb. nov. The lectotype is designated for Lithosia distorta Moore, 1872. Adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated. A checklist of the Prabhasa / Zadadra generic complex is provided.

Understanding how humans have altered coral reef food webs remains challenging due to the absence of prehistoric baselines. Here, we use fish remains preserved in fossil and archaeological deposits from Panamá and the Dominican Republic to explore how Caribbean reef fish mortality patterns have changed over millennia. By quantifying accumulation rates of shark dermal denticles (scales) and bony fish otoliths (ear stones) in reef sediments, we assess relative fish abundance, while otolith size serves as a proxy for body size at death.

Objective: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experience photosensitivity, with exposure to UVB light driving lupus flares and triggering symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, and cutaneous lesions. Although the mechanism(s) linking UVB exposure to systemic effects are unclear, type I interferons (IFNs) are known to play a role. Our previous work has shown that TRIM21, an autoantigen in SLE, functions as a negative regulator on the pathways driving IFN expression.

Immunization with messenger RNA (mRNA) or viral vectors encoding spike protein with diproline substitutions (S-2P) were shown to provide protective immunity, curbing the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in light of the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) that can cause COVID-19, it is essential that we understand how immunization with spike protein elicits neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). Here, we compared immunization of macaques with mRNA vaccines expressing ancestral spike protein with or without diproline substitutions, showing that the diproline substitutions were not required for protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge or induction of broadly neutralizing B cell lineages.

Weighted cart pull: A novel outcome measure for sustained motor function in mice.

Exp Physiol

March 2025

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, USA.

Sarcopenia, the pathological age-related decline in muscle mass and strength, compromises independence and quality of life in older adults. Currently, no effective treatments are available. To enhance translational research using aged mouse models, we developed and validated the weighted cart pull (WCP) as a novel assessment of sustained motor function.
