Valuing birds: a quantitative approach to explore relational values

Ecosystems and People
This study examines the concept of environmental relational values (RVs) by exploring the case of the human-nature relationships of birdwatchers. Because RVs are context-sensitive, they are difficult to capture quantitatively.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Art as an Infrastructure for Commoning: Debounding Human-Nature Relationships—Three Works

Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies, 2021
As a cultural practice, art can affect the paradigms that either maintain or shift societies to new ways of behaving. The foundational role of paradigms in systemic change makes art a meaningful infrastructure for addressing desired changes to such ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Re-imagining child-nature relationships in ecotourism: children’s conservation awareness through nature play and nature-based learning

Education is an essential part of ecotourism, and first-hand experiences in nature can lead to increased awareness and concern for the environment. Environmental education in ecotourism, however, is generally shaped by anthropocentric views of human ...

Changing human–nature relationships: Insights from Guinea‐Bissau woodlands

People and Nature
The ecological impacts of landscape changes resulting in significant simplification of natural systems have been extensively studied worldwide. Yet, few studies have examined how such biophysical changes affect the value local communities place on nature

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Leveraging human–nature relationships towards sustainable pathways

, 2021
Urbanization, habitat change, climate change, biodiversity loss, etc., are eroding human relationships with nature but also generating new ones. Identifying and reorienting these novel human–nature relationships is key to enabling the broad, rapid, and ...

Spatial and single‐nuclei transcriptomics reveals idiosyncratic and generic patterns in papillary and anaplastic thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Matched spatial transcriptomics and single‐nuclei RNA‐seq were generated for anaplastic and BRAFV600E papillary thyroid cancers revealing generic and tumor‐specific states occurring in cancer cells and in the tumor microenvironment. In this context, cancer dedifferentiation mirrored organoid maturation through ordered thyroid marker gain/loss ...
