Morphological and organic spectroscopic studies of a 44-million-year-old leaf beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in amber with endogenous remains of chitin
(Nature Research, 2023-04-11)This study details the quality of preservation of amber deposits in the Eocene. Through Baltic amber crack-out studies using Synchrotron Micro-Computed Tomography and Scanning Electron Microscopy it was found that the ... -
Microfluidic/HPLC combination to study carnosine protective activity on challenged human microglia: Focus on oxidative stress and energy metabolism
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03-29)Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a naturally occurring endogenous peptide widely distributed in excitable tissues such as the brain. This dipeptide possesses well-demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and ... -
Turning the lens in the study of precarity: On experimental social psychology's acquiescence to the settler-colonial status quo in historic Palestine
(Wiley, 2022-11-09)This review examines the coloniality infused within the conduct and third reporting of experimental research in what is commonly referred to as the ‘Israeli-Palestinian conflict’. Informed by a settler colonial framework ... -
Conversion of Polyethylenes into Fungal Secondary Metabolites
(Wiley, 2022-11-03)Waste plastics represent major environmental and economic burdens due to their ubiquity, slow breakdown rates, and inadequacy of current recycling routes. Polyethylenes are particularly problematic, because they lack robust ... -
Short report: The role of oral hypersensitivity in feeding behaviors of young autistic children
(SAGE Publications, 2023-02-24)Feeding problems are common among autistic children and are linked to negative health consequences. Therefore, understanding feeding problems and factors that influence these behaviors is important for developing supports ... -
A ferritin-based COVID-19 nanoparticle vaccine that elicits robust, durable, broad-spectrum neutralizing antisera in non-human primates
(Nature Research, 2023-04-17)While the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines has been a scientific triumph, the need remains for a globally available vaccine that provides longer-lasting immunity against present and future SARS-CoV-2 variants of ... -
The genetic basis of adaptation to copper pollution in Drosophila melanogaster
(Frontiers Media, 2023-04-04)Introduction: Heavy metal pollutants can have long lasting negative impacts on ecosystem health and can shape the evolution of species. The persistent and ubiquitous nature of heavy metal pollution provides an opportunity ... -
TOM-1/tomosyn acts with the UNC-6/netrin receptor UNC-5 to inhibit growth cone protrusion in Caenorhabditis elegans
(The Company of Biologists, 2023-04-04)In the polarity/protrusion model of growth cone repulsion from UNC-6/netrin, UNC-6 first polarizes the growth cone of the VD motor neuron axon via the UNC-5 receptor, and then regulates protrusion asymmetrically across the ... -
Rapid differentiation of soil and root microbiomes in response to plant composition and biodiversity in the field
(Springe, 2023-04-19)Research suggests that microbiomes play a major role in structuring plant communities and influencing ecosystem processes, however, the relative roles and strength of change of microbial components have not been identified. ... -
Simulating the dynamics of dispersal and dispersal ability in fragmented populations with mate-finding Allee effects
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-04-21)We consider the spatial propagation and genetic evolution of model populations comprising multiple subpopulations, each distinguished by its own characteristic dispersal rate. Mate finding is modeled in accord with the ... -
Structural Elucidation of a Protective B Cell Epitope on Outer Surface Protein C (OspC) of the Lyme Disease Spirochete, Borreliella burgdorferi
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-03-28)Outer surface protein C (OspC) plays a pivotal role in mediating tick-to-host transmission and infectivity of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliella burgdorferi. OspC is a helical-rich homodimer that interacts with tick ... -
The reporting quality and transparency of orthopaedic studies using Bayesian analysis requires improvement: A systematic review
(Elsevier, 2023-04-07)Background Bayesian methods are being used more frequently in orthopaedics. To advance the use and transparent reporting of Bayesian studies, reporting guidelines have been recommended. There is currently little known ... -
Leptospirosis in Ecuador: Current Status and Future Prospects
(MDPI, 2023-03-29)The location of Ecuador—an equatorial nation—favors the multiplication and dispersal of the Leptospira genus both on the Pacific Coast and in the Amazon tropical ecoregions. Nevertheless, leptospirosis epidemiology has not ... -
