Insect Pollination and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (2020)
Journal Article
Tolera, K., & Ballantyne, G. (2021). Insect Pollination and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. Journal of Pollination Ecology, 27(2), 36-46

We are currently seeing an expansion of pollinator-dependent crops in many parts of the world, but also growing evidence for pollinator population declines and loss of pollinator habitat. Climate change and population growth will place additional dem... Read More about Insect Pollination and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Clinical application of physical-activity monitoring in patients with CIEDs (2020)
Journal Article
Callum, K., Muggeridge, D. J., Giggins, O. M., Crabtree, D. R., Gorely, T., & Leslie, S. J. (2020). Clinical application of physical-activity monitoring in patients with CIEDs. British Journal of Cardiology, 27, 115-118. https://doi.org/10.5837/bjc.2020.035

Regular physical activity for secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease has many well-recognised benefits, with declines in physical activity being associated with worsening cardiovascular disease, suboptimal treatment or worsening comorbidities...

Design, synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of imidazol-5-yl pyridine derivatives as p38α/MAPK14 inhibitor (2020)
Journal Article
Ali, E. M., Abdel-Maksoud, M. S., Hassan, R. M., Mersal, K. I., Ammar, U. M., Se-In, C., He-Soo, H., Kim, H.-K., Lee, A., Lee, K.-T., & Oh, C.-H. (2021). Design, synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of imidazol-5-yl pyridine derivatives as p38α/MAPK14 inhibitor. Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry, 31, Article 115969. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bmc.2020.115969

P38α/MAPK14 is intracellular signalling regulator involved in biosynthesis of inflammatory mediator cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-1b), which induce the production of inflammatory proteins (iNOS, NF-kB, and COX-2). In this study, drug repurposi... Read More about Design, synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of imidazol-5-yl pyridine derivatives as p38α/MAPK14 inhibitor.

Bass, J. J., Kazi, A. A., Deane, C. S., Nakhuda, A., Ashcroft, S. P., Brook, M. S., Wilkinson, D. J., Phillips, B. E., Philp, A., Tarum, J., Kadi, F., Andersen, D., Garcia, A. M., Smith, K., Gallagher, I. J., Szewczyk, N. J., Cleasby, M. E., & Atherton, P. J. (2021). The mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy in response to transient knockdown of the vitamin D receptor in vivo. Journal of Physiology, 599(3), 963-979. https://doi.org/10.1113/jp280652

Vitamin D deficiency is estimated to affect ∼40% of the world's population and has been associated with impaired muscle maintenance. Vitamin D exerts its actions through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), the expression of which was recently confirmed in...

The flapper skate, Dipturus intermedius (Parnell, 1837), is the largest of all European skate and rays (Superorder: Batoidea). It is found in coastal waters of the European continental shelf and slopes in the North-East (NE) Atlantic. With the 2006 I...

How to become a generalist species? Individual niche variation across habitat transformation gradients (2020)
Journal Article
Liang, D., Yang, S., Pagani-Núñez, E., He, C., Liu, Y., Goodale, E., Liao, W. B., & Hu, J. (2020). How to become a generalist species? Individual niche variation across habitat transformation gradients. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 8, Article 597450. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2020.597450

Species in transformed habitats, frequently labeled as environmental generalists, tend to show broader niches than species in natural habitats. However, how population niche expansion translates into changes in the niches of individual organisms rema... Read More about How to become a generalist species?
