Life cycle assessment of biodiesel synthesis from waste cooking oil using bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The development of renewable energy sources is important in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. Heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts offer a sustainable alternative to conventional homogeneous bases such ...

How do secondary schools in England talk about modern languages? A corpus‐assisted discourse analysis of school websites

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Situating the study within an ecological perspective on language education, this article examines how secondary schools in England present Modern Languages (MLs) on official school websites. Focusing on 44 schools in Local Authorities with the lowest percentage average entry for the Languages pillar of the EBacc, we built a text database ...

The Esg Gene Is Involved in Nicotine Sensitivity in Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS ONE, 2015
In humans, there is a strong correlation between sensitivity to substances of abuse and addiction risk. This differential tolerance to drugs has a strong genetic component.

Bridging the Gap: Student Voices on Recruitment and Retention in Ecology

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract Students entering ecology and environmental science face a variety of challenges, including limited awareness of career paths, lack of mentorship, and difficulties connecting with peers and faculty. These challenges are often amplified for students from marginalized backgrounds, who may also encounter microaggressions, underrepresentation, and

Tackling cancer stemness with nanotechnology in the era of precision medicine

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Precise customization of nanoparticles (NPs) enables active targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs), thereby improving drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. NP‐based probing enhances CSC detection through imaging and liquid biopsy, whereas diverse therapeutic payloads improve therapeutic outcomes.

Orchestrating the metastatic symphony: the role of extracellular vesicles in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition and pulmonary niche formation of breast cancer

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.
