Adiponectin reverses β‐Cell damage and impaired insulin secretion induced by obesity
Aging Cell, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Incubation of β‐cells with sera or plasma from obese rats and humans hampers mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) relative to sera and plasma from lean rats and humans. Adiponectin, found at elevated levels in lean subjects, supports β‐cell function on its own, in the absence of sera, and also reverses

An evaluation of translocation as a tool to reduce burrowing owl collisions at airports
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 47, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023 Bird strikes at airports pose a human‐wildlife conflict (HWC) present in the world's major cities.
