Drawing on translation studies to advance cross-language research in organisation studies: Enriching transdisciplinary dialogue (2025)
Journal Article

Despite longstanding calls for more transdisciplinary dialogue, there is still much to be gained from a closer collaboration between translation and organisation studies scholars. In this paper, we discuss how insights from translation studies can he...

The potential role of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 (Active vitamin D 3 ) in modulating macrophage function; implications for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (2025)
Journal Article

Macrophages play an important role in tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and repair, displaying remarkable plasticity by polarising towards pro-inflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), this r...
