TL;DR: A mechanical caterpillar, MecWorm, has been designed and used in this study, which very closely resembles the herbivore-caused tissue damage in terms of similar physical appearance and long-lasting wounding period on defined leaf areas, and the results strongly suggest that the impact of mechanical wounding on the induction of defense responses during Herbivore feeding was until now underestimated.

TL;DR: It is shown that a strong magnetic field gradient at the tumour location accumulates the nanoparticles and electron microscope investigations show that the ferrofluids can be enriched in tumour tissue and tumour cells.

TL;DR: Whereas W mutant conidia caused a strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) release by polymorphonuclear leukocytes, the ability of pksP-complemented W mutantConidia to stimulate ROS release was significantly reduced and comparable to that of WT conidia.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that PIC1 functions in iron transport across the inner envelope of chloroplasts and hence in cellular metal homeostasis.

TL;DR: Fuchs et al. as discussed by the authors found that the degree of identity between the ospC partial sequences of five strains representing different OspA serotypes was only 63.3 to 85.4%.
