It was a fitting end for a formidable man who had lived a full life and had gained a reputation as being all but indestructible. Willy is survived by his wife Beverley, their three children and four grandchildren. Born in Frutillar in southern Chile, Willy was the sixth of 11 children to parents of German heritage. He grew up on the family farm, speaking German and Spanish, and left home to attend boarding school. After completing his high-school education, he obtained a Licentiate in Philosophy in 1940 at the University of Chile. He then entered a seminary in Buenos Aires to become a priest, gaining a Licentiate in Theology in 1944. He learned French, classical Greek and Latin as part of his theological training (English came later). Soon after this, he became involved in biological research. Initially strongly interested in botany, he quickly became fascinated by weevils through their associations with plants, and this led to a Licentiate in Biology and Chemistry. He researched the biology and systematics of water weevils in the genus Lissorhoptrus for a PhD degree in biological sciences, conferred in 1953 and being the first PhD degree awarded by the University of Chile (and for all of Chile). From 1950 he was employed by the university as a research entomologist in the Centro de Investigaciones Zoológicas, and in 1957 he became head of the Department of Entomology. During his time at the University of Chile, he was president of the Sociedad Chilena de Entomología","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"40 1","pages":"92 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2017.1380351","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49369006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated if dispersing beetles are reproducing in the roots and root collars of damaged pine trees of shelterbelts (windbreaks) that are common in New Zealand’s agricultural landscapes. The ability of these bark beetles to breed in roots and root collars has been noted previously, primarily on dead trees and stumps. But to our knowledge it has not been empirically studied in New Zealand if roots of standing but physiologically declining (i.e. dying) trees can serve as suitable breeding material. We used a novel and effective root herbivore emergence trap, which is described here, to carry out this study. A total of 37 H. ater were captured across 13 traps and three sites in inland Canterbury; however, no H. ligniperda were found. We confirm that H. ater is able to colonise roots of damaged and declining isolated pine trees and show that shelterbelts can act as ‘stepping stones’ aiding spread and persistence through the landscape.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"40 1","pages":"86 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2017.1364152","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41907414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, tumor-associated antigens often have low expression levels in normal tissues, which can cause on-target, off-tumor toxicity. Recently, we reported that GPC3-targeted CAR-T cells could eradicate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) xenografts in mice. However, it remains unknown whether on-target, off-tumor toxicity can occur. Therefore, we proposed that dual-targeted CAR-T cells co-expressing glypican-3 (GPC3) and asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) (a liver tissue-specific protein)-targeted CARs featuring CD3ζ and 28BB (containing both CD28 and 4-1BB signaling domains), respectively, may have reduced on-target, off-tumor toxicity. Our results demonstrated that dual-targeted CAR-T cells caused no cytotoxicity to ASGR1⁺GPC3^- tumor cells, but they exhibited a similar cytotoxicity against GPC3⁺ASGR1^- and GPC3⁺ASGR1⁺ HCC cells in vitro. We found that dual-targeted CAR-T cells showed significantly higher cytokine secretion, proliferation and antiapoptosis ability against tumor cells bearing both antigens than single-targeted CAR-T cells in vitro. Furthermore, the dual-targeted CAR-T cells displayed potent growth suppression activity on GPC3⁺ASGR1⁺ HCC tumor xenografts, while no obvious growth suppression was seen with single or double antigen-negative tumor xenografts. Additionally, the dual-targeted T cells exerted superior anticancer activity and persistence against single-targeted T cells in two GPC3⁺ASGR1⁺ HCC xenograft models. Together, T cells carrying two complementary CARs against GPC3 and ASGR1 may reduce the risk of on-target, off-tumor toxicity while maintaining relatively potent antitumor activities on GPC3⁺ASGR1⁺ HCC.</p>","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"14 1","pages":"475-489"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11028818/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80908217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
