Human MuStem Cell Grafting into Infarcted Rat Heart Attenuates Adverse Tissue Remodeling and Preserves Cardiac Function

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
Myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Whereas transplantation of several cell types into the infarcted heart has produced promising preclinical results, clinical studies using analogous human cells have ...

Quiet activism as feminist practice

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we discuss how women combat silencing in the face of violence and increased political turmoil through quiet activism in their day‐to‐day lives. Centering lengthy conversations with Arab women across London and notes from an ongoing collaboration with a feminist activist based in the US, we examine how wearable rhetorical ...

NTECARS: A Nonthermal Equilibrium CARS Spectra Fitting Code

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We present NTECARS, an open‐source code written in Julia for the calculation and fitting of CARS spectra under nonequilibrium conditions. Rovibrational distributions can be flexibly modeled and fitted for different use cases. The code currently implements CO2$$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}}_2 $$ and N2$$ {\mathrm{N}}_2 $$ molecules and is validated under ...

Misperceptions of charismatic species' conservation status: Zoo visits and virtual exposure shape perceptions of extinction risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, yet species are not equally affected, and public perceptions of extinction risk often diverge from scientific assessments. Understanding what shapes public perceptions is critical for effective conservation communication, particularly in zoos, where many people encounter exotic and endangered ...

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

The fantastic black panther in the writing of Charles G. D. Roberts : Forging Canadian national identity from primeval nature

Belphégor, 2014
Charles G.D. Roberts’ 1892/1896 short story ‘Lou’s Clarionet’ focuses on the potential attack by a black panther, a shadowy creature that is at once dangerous and comforting, real and fantastic, disturbing and uncertain.

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

The need for manual curation of the cotton proteome leads to a solution primed for undergraduate involvement

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cotton is a global crop cultivated worldwide, yet a significant portion of the cotton genome remains functionally unannotated. Attempts have been made to automate this annotation but have been unable to completely bridge the gap. Human curation is still needed for accurate interpretations and predictions to be made.

CMesh: A Polymer‐Free Carbon Nanotube Scaffold for Robust TEM Specimen Preparation of Porous Graphene

Small, EarlyView.
CMesh, a polymer‐free carbon nanotube scaffold, reinforces pristine and pre‐existing porous graphene during TEM specimen preparation while preserving clean suspended imaging windows. The tunable mesh enables high‐yield transfer onto standard grids, atomic‐resolution imaging of nanopores and defects, and in situ observation under demanding microscopy ...
