Climate change and the rising infectiousness of dengue
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 133-142 - 2019
Joacim Rocklöv, Yesim Tozan
Abstract The disease burden of dengue has been steadily rising over the last half-century due to a multitude of factors, including global trade and travel, urbanization, population growth, and climate variability and change, that facilitate conductive conditions for the proliferation of dengue vectors and viruses. This review describes how climate, s...... hiện toàn bộ
Metabolomics as an emerging tool to study plant–microbe interactions
Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 175-183 - 2022
Sneha Gupta, Martino Schillaci, Ute Roessner
In natural environments, interaction between plant roots and microorganisms are common. These interactions between microbial species and plants inhabited by them are being studied using various techniques. Metabolomics research based on mass spectrometric techniques is one of the crucial approaches that underpins system biology and relies on precision instrument analysis. In the last decad...... hiện toàn bộ
The difficult case of an RNA-only origin of life
Tập 3 Số 5 - Trang 469-475 - 2019
Kristian Le Vay, Hannes Mutschler
The RNA world hypothesis is probably the most extensively studied model for the emergence of life on Earth. Despite a large body of evidence supporting the idea that RNA is capable of kick-starting autocatalytic self-replication and thus initiating the emergence of life, seemingly insurmountable weaknesses in the theory have also been highlighted. These problems could be overcome by novel ...... hiện toàn bộ
On-farm biosecurity in livestock production: farmer behaviour, cultural identities and practices of care
Tập 4 Số 5 - Trang 521-530 - 2020
Damian Maye, Kin Wing Chan
Definitions of biosecurity typically include generalised statements about how biosecurity risks on farms should be managed and contained. However, in reality, on-farm biosecurity practices are uneven and transfer differently between social groups, geographical scales and agricultural commodity chains. This paper reviews social science studies that examine on-farm biosecurity for animal hea...... hiện toàn bộ
The ecotoxicological consequences of microplastics and co-contaminants in aquatic organisms: a mini-review
Tập 6 Số 4 - Trang 339-348 - 2022
Farhan R. Khan, Ana I. Catarino, Nathaniel J. Clark
Microplastics (MPs, <5 mm in size) are a grave environmental concern. They are a ubiquitous persistent pollutant group that has reached into all parts of the environment — from the highest mountain tops to the depths of the ocean. During their production, plastics have added to them numerous chemicals in the form of plasticizers, colorants, fillers and stabilizers, some of which hav...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantifying CRISPR off-target effects
Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 327-334 - 2019
Soragia Athina Gkazi
Abstract Recent advances in the era of genetic engineering have significantly improved our ability to make precise changes in the genomes of human cells. Throughout the years, clinical trials based on gene therapies have led to the cure of diseases such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1), adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID) ...... hiện toàn bộ
