Accounting for commodity carbon footprints at the sub-national level: A case study of soybean exports from Brazil to China

World Development Sustainability
Quantifying the carbon footprint of agricultural products is crucial for effective carbon mitigation and responsible sourcing, given that the food production system accounts for approximately one-third of global carbon emissions.

Tracing carbon emissions convergence along the way to participate in global value chains: A spatial econometric approach for emerging market countries

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 ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Tracing CO₂ emissions in global value chains: Multinationals vs. domestically-owned firms

, 2022
This study integrates the new global value chain (GVC) accounting method that explicitly considers the difference in the production functions of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and domestically-owned firms into existing production- and consumption-based

Knowledge, Oligopoly and Labour in Global Value Chains

Global Labour Journal, 2020
The article explores knowledge in global value chains (GVCs) and its correspondence with the nature of employment in different GVC segments. It starts with the role of knowledge that is protected through intellectual property rights in creating ...

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Climbing up global value chains: leveraging FDI for economic development

, 2022
The fragmentation of production offers new opportunities to economies seeking to take part in global value chains (GVCs). With the help of foreign direct investment (FDI), some economies are shifting their GVC participation to an increasing number of ...

International business and global value chains

, 2021
The purpose of this chapter is to provide GVC scholars with an overview of the six main re-search paradigms on the study of the multinational enterprise within international business research. The chapter furthermore offers a number of suggestions on how
