Car@PLGA-NPs target gut microbiota-ER stress axis to combat diabetes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated that carvacrol (Car) ameliorates vascular and hepatic injury in db/db mice, but its low bioavailability limits clinical translation.MethodsTo address this, this study constructed carvacrol-loaded polymeric ...

Improved Vascularization of Planar Membrane Diffusion Devices following Continuous Infusion of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Cell Transplantation, 2000
Improving blood vessel formation around an immunobarrier device should improve the survival of the encapsulated tissue. In the present study we investigated the formation of new blood vessels around a planar membrane diffusion device (the Baxter ...

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.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Financing Climate Action Through Fair Taxation: How SDG Engagement Reduces Corporate Tax Avoidance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a low‐carbon economy, central to achieving Paris Agreement targets and Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action), requires unprecedented public and private investment. A significant climate financing gap persists, however, exacerbated by corporate practices that erode the public revenue base.
