Community context mediates effects of pollinator loss on seed production

Ecosphere, 2023
A critical goal for ecologists is understanding how ongoing local and global species losses will affect ecosystem functions and services. Diversity–functioning relationships, which are well‐characterized in primary producer communities, are much less ...

Synergistic Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in Arbutus unedo Leaf Extract by Biological Fluids: Implications for Functional and Nutraceutical Applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of biological fluids (saliva, blood plasma, and urine) on the antioxidant capacity of an aqueous extract derived from Arbutus unedo leaves. The extract displayed a concentration‐dependent reducing activity in the ferric reducing power assay (IC50 = 292 ± 7.54 µg/mL) and phosphomolybdenum assays (IC50 = 461.67 ± 4.

Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]

, 2019
Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported from plants.

Pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic modelling of risankizumab using chronic plaque psoriasis real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Risankizumab is a high‐cost biologic treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis, an immune‐mediated inflammatory disease presenting with painful red scaly skin lesions. Inter‐individual heterogeneity in treatment response may be better addressed with personalised rather than fixed dosing. We sought to develop a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (
