ABSTRACT Rationale Hemicelluloses are abundant carbohydrate components in plant cell walls. They play a crucial structural role in binding cellulose microfibrils, in addition to other biological functions. Their high structural variability directly influences their biological properties, making it important to establish a structure–function ...

Habitat imprinting in breeding territory selection of a long‐lived bird of prey
A unique long‐term dataset has allowed this study of an important habitat selection mechanism, habitat imprinting, in a species which is typically extremely challenging to study. It gives us better understanding of the role of early experience in selection of breeding sites in long‐lived species with high breeding site fidelity.

‘Let's Turn the Grass Into Meat’: Animal Husbandry as Women's Work in Cold War North Korea
ABSTRACT In postcolonial North Korea, the future of the nation was said to be a function of the feedlot. Unobtainable on the battlefields of the recently ended Korean War, liberation and unification of the peninsula became a question of competitive developmentalism.

Activation of the Lectin Pathway Drives Persistent Complement Dysregulation in Long COVID
The complement cascade, a series of blood proteins that assists in the recognition and neutralisation of pathogens, either independently or in conjunction with antibodies, is persistently activated in patients with long COVID. We found that blood plasma samples from patients with long COVID contained elevated concentrations of the mannan‐binding lectin‐

Stimulation of Interferon Production by Mannans
SummaryFour preparations of purified mannans from C. albicans Berkhout, one purified mannan from S. cerevisiae, a lipid fraction from C. albicans Berkhout, and eight polysaccharide-protein complexes from the same microorganism were tested for interferon-stimulating activity in explanted mouse peritoneal leukocytes. Whereas the mannan from S. cerevisiae

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

ABSTRACT Poor sleep and emotional wellbeing, which often decline during puberty, are associated with declines in metabolic health and are key determinants of childhood obesity. The aim of the study was to explore bidirectional associations between sleep, emotional wellbeing and obesity from ages 8 to 14 using the Growing Up in Scotland cohort ...
