The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Sustainability Orientation and Sustainable Innovation: Can Organisational Resilience Clarify the Missing Link?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although firms that integrate a sustainability orientation (SO) may experience a significant improvement in their resource efficiency, many, particularly small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs), still struggle with the complexities of incorporating sustainability into their business models.

Performance of large virus removal filters during AAV processing: Influence of flux and process disruptions

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract As adeno‐associated viral vectors (AAV) continue to advance through the clinical pipeline, effective downstream purification strategies must be developed to ensure bulk drug purity and safety. AAV are produced within mammalian cells, bringing forth risks associated with viral contamination.

Two‐Step Synthesis of a Chiral Fluorinated Alcohol With Silica‐Supported Enzyme RrADH in Batch and Continuous Flow Mode

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A two‐step process was transferred from batch to flow mode for the synthesis of (R)‐2‐fluoro‐1‐phenylethanol as a benchmark, consisting of a decarboxylative fluorination in aqueous media, followed by an enantioselective biocatalytic reduction of the prochiral intermediate with RrADH immobilized on silica supraparticles.

Purification, Fluorescent Labeling, and Detyrosination of Mammalian Cell Tubulin for Biochemical Assays

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

Promoting Sustainability in Healthcare: Unraveling the Mechanism of Diversity's Impact in the Pharmaceutical Sector

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although research on sustainability in the healthcare sector is growing, limited attention has been paid to how pharmaceutical companies can be motivated to engage more actively in achieving net‐zero healthcare goals. This study argues that the breadth of directors' experiences—across educational, industrial, and organizational domains—can ...

Modeling and Experimental Study of a Dual‐Receiver Parabolic Solar Concentrator for Direct Electricity Generation and Thermal Storage for Isolated Sites

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Approximately 64% of the population in sub‐Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, despite the region's high solar potential, making concentrated solar power a promising solution for decentralized and sustainable energy supply. This study presents the design, construction, and testing of a parabolic solar concentrator with two focal‐point receivers

Visible Photosensitizing Disinfectant Spray for Combating Multidrug‐Resistant Candidozyma Auris in Healthcare Settings

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
We designed and synthesized a dual‐type AIE photosensitizer (named TB) spray, containing a cationic quaternary ammonium unit and a glycosyl‐targeted boronic acid moiety, characterized for the elimination of biofilm infections of Candidozyma auris (C. auris) on high‐touch surfaces.
