Early recognition by Ball and Hooker in 1878 of plant back-colonization (boomerang) events from Macaronesia to Africa [PDF]
, 2020 Recent work in island biogeography has shown that back-colonization (‘boomerang’ events) from islands to continents have occurred more frequently than previously understoodWe report possibly the earliest inference of this pattern, by John Ball and Joseph

Properties of Astragalus sp. microsymbionts and their putative role in plant growth promotion [PDF]
Archives of Microbiology, 2016 The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have developed many different (indirect and direct) mechanisms that have a positive effect on plant growth and development. Strains isolated from Astragalus cicer and Astragalus glycyphyllos root nodules were investigated for their plant growth-promoting properties such as production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Rheumatoid sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is a frequent comorbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), linked to prolonged, severe systemic inflammation. Purinergic signaling (adenosine, AMP, and ATP) plays a crucial role in inflammation, myogenesis, and muscle hypertrophy.

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy‐based games into undergraduate anatomy ...
