Measuring the time‐varying market efficiency in the prewar and wartime Japanese stock market, 1924–1943

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 131-159, March 2025.

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Nicotinic Acid Restriction Enhances the Therapeutic Benefit of NAMPT Inhibition in Small‐Cell Lung Cancer Models

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Dietary NA restriction converts the effect of NAMPT inhibition from cytostatic to cytotoxic in SCLC in vivo. ABSTRACT Small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options. We previously showed that nicotinic acid riboside (NAR) sustains NAD biosynthesis in vivo and compensates for NAMPT inhibition in SCLC models ...
