Negative Spillovers Across Partnerships for Responsible Innovation: Evidence from the 2014 Ebola Outbreak

Journal of Management Studies, Volume 59, Issue 1, Page 126-162, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Humanity faces ongoing and contemporaneous grand challenges. Occasionally, abrupt shocks escalate a grand challenge’s salience over others. Prior research has advocated forming partnerships to address grand challenges via responsible innovation. Yet, it remains unclear how temporal changes in the salience of a grand challenge impact innovation

From celiac disease to coccidia infection and vice‐versa: The polyQ peptide CXCR3‐interaction axis

BioEssays, Volume 43, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Coccidian parasites trigger zonulin upregulation and release via the binding of the parasite matching gliadin polyQ sequences to the CXCR‐type chemokine, thus representing an underappreciated mechanism of coccidial infection. The high sequence similarity between the PolyQs of gliadin and coccidia suggests that in humans, a coccidiosis episode may be an
