Cell and Gene Therapies Manufacturing Challenges and Integrated Good Manufacturing Practices Solutions: A Lifecycle Perspective

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Lifecycle perspective on cell and gene therapy manufacturing challenges and enabling GMP solutions. ABSTRACT Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) are revolutionizing modern medicine; however, making these advanced medicines scalable and readily available to commercial manufacturers worldwide is a major challenge. The number of approved CGT products continues

Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Evaluating LiDAR‐Derived Structural Metrics for Predicting Bee Assemblages in Managed Forests

Ecology and Evolution
Globally, many insects depend on forest habitat for critical nesting and floral resources. Forest structural complexity can affect the distribution of these resources and likewise alter insect assemblages within forests.

Low cost prediction of time consumption for pre-commercial thinning in Finland

Silva Fennica, 2020
The time consumption (TC) of pre-commercial thinning (PCT) varies greatly among sites, stands and forest workers. The TC in PCT is usually estimated by field-assessed work difficulty factors.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Diversity, Structure and Regeneration Status of Woody Vegetation in the Chebera Churchura National Park, Southwest Ethiopia

International Journal of Forestry Research
Most protected areas in developing countries have been mismanaged due to data gaps that would be used for planning management strategies. Without ecological information, it is difficult to develop and implement effective conservation plans and measure ...
