Harmonising digitised herbarium data to enhance biodiversity knowledge: Major steps towards an updated checklist for the flora of Greenland

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbaria worldwide hold centuries of plant data that are key to understanding and protecting biodiversity; however, even with increased digital access, differences in plant naming systems make it difficult to compare records. We developed a semi‐automated workflow that standardises species names and organises herbaria records from multiple institutions

To hydrolyze or not to hydrolyze: the dilemma of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
Mounting ambiguity persists around the functional role of the plasma form of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH). Because PAF-AH hydrolyzes PAF and related oxidized phospholipids, it is widely accepted as an anti-inflammatory enzyme.

Resveratrol attenuates areca nut extract‐induced chronic colitis by suppressing pyroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells via modulating cGAS/STING signaling

VIEW, EarlyView.
Areca nut extract (ANE), commonly consumed in some cultures, can damage gut cells by triggering inflammation and cell death through a pathway called cGAS‐STING. This leads to the release of harmful inflammatory substances and weakens the gut barrier. Our study shows that resveratrol, a natural compound found in foods like grapes, can block this harmful

Habitat imprinting in breeding territory selection of a long‐lived bird of prey

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

Determinants of plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase: heritability and relationship to plasma lipoproteins

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is the enzyme that inactivates PAF (1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). We determined the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to variation in plasma PAF-AH ...
