Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Biochemical and biophysical characterization of hyperthermophilic sugar isomerases and epimerases [PDF]
, 2009 The availability of enzymes with optimal functional temperatures above 70°C has had considerable impact on industrial biocataysis. Extremely thermophilic enzymes have expanded the known thermal range of biological systems and ushered in a new era in ...

Does Stakeholder Pressure Promote Green Innovations and Performance of Agribusiness Companies?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The sustainability of agribusiness companies is guided by multiple, sometimes paradoxical, interests. Green innovation is strategic for sustainable development; however, literature shows inconsistencies regarding its impact on environmental and economic‐financial performance.

Chemistry of 1,2- and 4,5-unsaturated sugars: Access to labeled and rare pyranosides [PDF]
, 2003 1,2-unsaturated hexopyranoses derived from D-glucose (glycals) were utilized for the synthesis of [13C]methyl 2-[15 N]amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside derivatives using 13CH3I and (saltmen)Mn(15N) as isotope sources. The glycosidic conformations of [13C]

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.
