Losartan alters osteoblast differentiation and increases bone mass through inhibition of TGFB signalling in vitro and in an OIM mouse model

Bone Reports
Excessive production of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) is commonly associated with dominant and recessive forms of OI. Previous reports have indicated that administration of TGFβ-targeted antibodies maybe of potential therapeutic benefit to OI ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Faunal diversity of Fagus sylvatica forests: A regional and European perspective based on three indicator groups

Annals of Forest Research, 2014
While the postglacial history of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and the plant species composition of beech forests in  Central Europe are fairly well understood, the faunal biodiversity has been less well investigated.

Preliminary estimates of mass-loss rates, changes in stable isotope composition, and invertebrate colonisation of evergreen and deciduous leaves in a Waikato, New Zealand, stream. [PDF]

, 1999
Rates of mass loss are important in the choice of tree species used in riparian rehabilitation because leaves that break down fast should contribute to stream food-webs more rapidly than leaves that break down more slowly.

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Ukrainian Version of FRAX: from Creation to Validation

Bolʹ, Sustavy, Pozvonočnik, 2016
FRAX® is an algorithm that computes 10-year probability of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fractures (hip, humerus, wrist fractures and clinical vertebral fractures) in patients aged 40 years and older. These probabilities are calculated based on age,
