How does income inequality affect energy rebound effect? Empirical evidence from China
Sustainable FuturesReducing income inequality and controlling energy rebound are both important targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). When we strive for realizing these goals, is there a win-win result between them or a trade-off?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Productivity Measurement in Global Value Chains [PDF]
International Productivity Monitor, 2017 Increasing fragmentation of production is posing new challenges to the measurement of productivity. Traditional approaches focus on firms, industries or countries as the unit of analysis. In this article we argue that studies of global value chains (GVCs)

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 The proliferation of trade agreements has offered a viable framework for the economic and trade integration of many nations. Additionally, the growth and expansion of global value chains has increased prospects for knowledge and technological spillovers ...

Organizing the Global Value Chain [PDF]
Econometrica, 2013 The authors develop a property-rights model of firm boundaries that permits an analysis of the optimal allocation of ownership rights in a setting where production is sequential in nature and contracts are incomplete. They begin in Section 2 by developing a benchmark model of firm behaviour that isolates the role of the degree of `downstreamness' of a ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Governance in Global Value Chains [PDF]
IDS Bulletin, 2001 Summaries The concept of ‘governance’ is central to the global value chain approach. This article explains what it means and why it matters for development research and policy. The concept is used to refer to the inter‐firm relationships and institutional mechanisms through which non‐market co‐ordination of activities in the chain takes place. This co‐

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
