Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Ecosphere, 2019 Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire.

Long-Term Suppression of Hardwood Regeneration by Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense)
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Native hardwood regeneration in the southeast United States is hindered by repeat disturbance events and the presence of invasive species. Our study aimed to determine the ability of native species in an unmanaged urban forest fragment to persist ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

The Rapid Initial Community Builder (RICB) V1.1 for LANDIS-II
MethodsXForest succession, or ecosystem process models, can aid in many land management decisions as they inherently incorporate ecological processes to predict how disturbances impact the resilience of the forest and its potential future structure.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

The long-term consequences of short-term responses to disturbance: Experiences from whalewatching impact assessment [PDF]
, 2007 Studies often use behavioral responses to detect the impact of given disturbances on animals. However, the observation of these short-term responses can often lead to contradicting results.

Assessing conservation of a tropical African estuary : waterbird disturbance, livelihoods, and ecotourism [PDF]
, 2011 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential costs and benefits of increasing conservation in the Sabaki River Mouth Important Bird Area. This was achieved by assessing the vulnerability of waterbirds to disturbance from human activity in the ...

Disturbed families, or families disturbed? [PDF]
British Journal of Psychiatry, 2004 Parents frequently perceive themselves as responsible for their child’s eating disorder. Clinicians who have observed a family’s overinvolvement with an ill, underweight child may readily subscribe to this view.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using
