CHIELD: The causal hypotheses in evolutionary linguistics database (2020)
Journal Article

Language is one of the most complex of human traits. There are many hypotheses about how it originated, what factors shaped its diversity, and what ongoing processes drive how it changes. We present the Causal Hypotheses in Evolutionary Linguistics D... Read More about CHIELD: The causal hypotheses in evolutionary linguistics database.

Screen-printed carbon based biosensors and their applications in agri-food safety (2020)
Journal Article

This review focuses on the ways in which screen-printed carbon electrodes have been tailored with different biorecognition elements, including enzymes, antibodies, and aptamers, often with other modifiers, such as mediators and nanoparticles, to prod...

A monolayer hiPSC culture system for autophagy/mitophagy studies in human dopaminergic neurons (2020)
Journal Article

Macroautophagy/autophagy cytoplasmic quality control pathways are required during neural development and are critical for the maintenance of functional neuronal populations in the adult brain. Robust evidence now exists that declining neuronal autoph... Read More about A monolayer hiPSC culture system for autophagy/mitophagy studies in human dopaminergic neurons.

Impact of thermal and high-pressure treatments on the microbiological quality and in vitro digestibility of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (2020)
Journal Article

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are gaining importance in animal feeding due to their ability to upcycle low-value agroindustry by-products into high-protein biomass. The present study evaluated the nutritional composition of BSFL reared on brewer’s...

Polyphenols from brown seaweeds as a potential antimicrobial agent in animal feeds (2020)
Journal Article

Seaweeds offer a natural source of antimicrobials that may help curb antibiotic resistance in livestock. The antibacterial activity of phlorotannin extracts isolated from two brown seaweeds Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus serratus was tested. The mecha...

The impact of the “World's 25 Most Endangered Primates” list on scientific publications and media (2020)
Journal Article

Assessing the impact of conservation campaigns is of critical importance to optimise the use of limited resources. Lists of threatened species are often employed as media outreach tools, but their usefulness is rarely tested. We investigated whether...

Extraction-free, direct determination of caffeine in microliter volumes of beverages by thermal desorption-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (2020)
Journal Article

An extraction-free method requiring microliter (μL) volumes has been developed for the determination of caffeine in beverages. Using a pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry system, the conditions required for the direct thermal desorption-g...

A Wnt-BMP4 signaling axis induces MSX and NOTCH proteins and promotes growth suppression and differentiation in neuroblastoma (2020)
Journal Article

The Wnt and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways are known to be crucial in the development of neural crest lineages, including the sympathetic nervous system. Surprisingly, their role in paediatric neuroblastoma, the prototypic tumor... Read More about A Wnt-BMP4 signaling axis induces MSX and NOTCH proteins and promotes growth suppression and differentiation in neuroblastoma.

Cyclic voltammetric behaviour of 2,4-dinitrotoluene at a glassy carbon electrode (2020)
Journal Article

This paper describes the development of a simple voltammetric method for the measurement of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (24DNT) at glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Initial investigations were undertaken using cyclic voltammetry to characterise the redox behavio... Read More about Cyclic voltammetric behaviour of 2,4-dinitrotoluene at a glassy carbon electrode.
