1 Introduction Stress, in the field of neuroendocrinology, refers to any external or internal stimuli that perturb the body from a state of homeostasis. Societal perception of stress is often negative. It is seen as something which should be avoided or remedied.

For many classes of RNA, their function is derived from their structure. Unlike DNA, which assumes a simple double-stranded helix, RNA adopts a diverse array of intramolecular structural features including hairpins, internal loops and multihelical junctions, which aid in the functionality of the RNA (1–3). Interestingly, RNA can tolerate imperfections such as bulges, deletions, insertions, mismatches, mutations and overhangs while maintaining its function (4).

While tobacco smoking is a risk factor in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), only a fraction of smokers develop the disease. Compelling evidence shows that microbial community composition is associated with carcinogenesis, suggesting that the microbiome may play a role in cancer development of smokers.

Bees were collected from B. impatiens colonies that were obtained from Koppert Biological Systems (Howell, Michigan, USA) and colonies reared in-house. Colonies were maintained in nest boxes at a constant temperature of 28–30 °C and 60% relative humidity, constant darkness and supplied ad libitum with a 60% sugar solution and honeybee-collected pollen [13, 14, 34].

Mangrove soils serve as reservoirs of sequestered atmospheric carbon, and their associated microbiomes are essential for the biochemical cycling of nutrients [1–3].

1 BACKGROUND Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cancer prevalence is expected to surpass 40 million cases by 2040 (H. Sung et al., 2021). The global economic burden of cancer is estimated to be $25.2 Trillion from 2020 to 2050 (S. Chen, Cao, et al., 2023). Cancer is commonly diagnosed through imaging such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) in addition to pathological analysis of tissue biopsies (Fass, 2008).

1 INTRODUCTION Molecular self-assembly is a fundamental physiologic process across all branches of the tree of life. It is a thermodynamic counterbalance of enthalpic contributions from inter- and intramolecular forces, asymmetrically opposed to entropic penalties of order.

1 Introduction The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is host to a microbiome community of trillions of bacteria, diversified by around a thousand unique species.[1, 2] These commensal microbes play critical roles in nutrient metabolism, immune training, and prevention of opportunistic infections.[3, 4] Imbalance in the GI bacterial consortium is now implicated in the pathophysiology of several human diseases, including inflammatory bowel disorders,[5] type 2 diabetes,[6] and certain...

Aedes aegypti Liverpool strain mosquito eggs (NR-48921) were provided by BEI Resources (Manassas, VA). Insects were maintained and reared at the Millennium Sciences Complex insectary (The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA) at 27 °C, 12:12 h light:dark cycle and 80% humidity. Larvae were fed fish food pellets (Tetra, Germany), and adult mosquitoes were kept in 30 × 30 × 30 cm cages on 10% sucrose diet ad libitum.
