[Diapause of Aedes albopictus and the Related Molecular Mechanisms]
Abstract:
Aedes albopictus is an important transmitting vector of a wide range of arboviruses such as Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus. The rapid and aggressive global spread of Aedes albopictus contributes to the rapid expansion of Dengue virus. The diapause of Aedes albopictus provides a crucial ecological basis for its adaptation to a wide range of climatic and geographical conditions. This review gives an update on research progress on diapause of Aedes albopictus and the related molecular mechanisms.

Chemical reactions often occur in a stepwise fashion, involving two or more distinct reactions taking place in a sequence. A balanced equation indicates the reacting species and the product species, but it reveals no details about how the reaction occurs at the molecular level. The reaction mechanism (or reaction path) provides details regarding the precise, step-by-step process by which a reaction occurs.
For instance, the decomposition of ozone appears to follow a mechanism with two steps:

Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
