Sustainable strategies are needed to manage plant pathogens and pests without disrupting ecological functions provided by beneficial organisms. Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae), such as Eupeodes corollae , provide ecosystem services and are applied especially in cultivations of horticultural crops: adults serve as pollinators, while larvae prey on pests like aphids. Here, we investigated whether E. corollae can also function as...

Life space mobility (LSM) is important for participation in daily life. It is influenced by individual and environmental factors and tends to decline with age. Although LSM has been studied in older adults, stratification of this population into age subgroups has not been performed, creating a gap in understanding the factors associated with LSM in a more granular manner. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factor...

Blood–brain barrier (BBB) efflux transporters' overexpression hinders antiepileptic drug brain entry. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is a major BBB efflux transporter. In the present work, BCRP's role as a mechanism that might contribute to drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in a mouse model of acute seizures was studied with further assessment of the effect of its inhibition by ko143 and metformin (MET) on lamotrigine (LT...
