Article Abstract

The development of patterning materials ("resists") at the nanoscale involves two distinct trends: one is toward high sensitivity and resolution for miniaturization, the other aims at functionalization of the resists to realize bottom-up construction of distinct nanoarchitectures. Patterning of carbon nanostructures, a seemingly ideal application for organic functional resists, has been highly reliant on complicated pattern transfer processes because of a lack of patternable precursors. Herein, we present a fullerene-metal coordination complex as a fabrication material for direct functional patterning of sub-10 nm metal-containing carbon structures. The attachment of one platinum atom per fullerene molecule not only leads to significant improvement of sensitivity and resolution but also enables stable atomic dispersion of the platinum ions within the carbon matrix, which may gain fundamentally new interest in functional patterning of hierarchical carbon nanostructures.

The ability of parasitoid wasps to precisely locate hosts in complex environments is a key factor in suppressing pest populations. Chemical communication plays an essential role in mediating insect behaviors such as locating food sources, hosts, and mates. Odorant receptors (ORs) are the key connection between external odors and olfactory nerves.

Cat, dog, and horse allergies: emerging new insights.

Turk J Pediatr

Animal allergens, particularly those from cats, dogs, and horses, are significant risk factors for the development of allergic diseases in childhood. Managing animal allergies requires allergen avoidance and, when this is not feasible, specific immunotherapy. Patient history remains the cornerstone of diagnosis, providing the foundation for diagnostic algorithms.

Metabolic Flexibility in Insects: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Implications.

Annu Rev Entomol

September 2025

2Department of Animal Physiology, Zoological Institute and Museum, University of Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany.

The evolutionary success of insects may be partly attributed to their profound ability to adjust metabolism in response to environmental stress or resource variability at a range of timescales. Metabolic flexibility encompasses the ability of an organism to adapt or respond to conditional changes in metabolic demand and tune fuel oxidation to match fuel availability. Here, we evaluate the mechanisms of metabolic flexibility in insects that are considered short-term, medium-term, and long-term responses.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Parasitoid-Derived Host Manipulation Strategies.

Annu Rev Entomol

2Key Laboratory of Plant Design, CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China; email:

Parasitoid wasps are a diverse group of insects with a unique parasitic lifestyle that allows them to spend their lives closely interacting with their insect hosts, facilitated by parasitic effectors, including venom, polydnaviruses, and teratocytes. These effectors manipulate various aspects of insect host biology to increase the survival of the parasitoids' offspring. During the last two decades, omics and functional studies have significantly advanced our understanding of how parasitoids manipulate their hosts at the molecular level.

ANASFV: a workflow for African swine fever virus whole-genome analysis.

Microb Genom

Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, PR China.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is highly transmissible and can cause up to 100% mortality in pigs. The virus has spread across most regions of Asia and Europe, resulting in the deaths of millions of pigs. A deep understanding of the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of ASFV is necessary to effectively manage outbreaks.
