Australia versus Denmark: an analysis of foot‐and‐mouth disease mitigation strategies

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) has progressively increased as an economically significant viral pathogen to the global agricultural and livestock industries, especially in those countries listed as FMD‐free, such as Australia and Denmark. The potential risk associated with the loss of this status enlists an equally significant level of biosecurity and ...

Microscopy and spectroscopy approaches to study GPCR structure and function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract The GPCR signalling cascade is a key pathway responsible for the signal transduction of a multitude of physical and chemical stimuli, including light, odorants, neurotransmitters and hormones. Understanding the structural and functional properties of the GPCR cascade requires direct observation of signalling processes in high spatial and ...
