Moving beyond landscape resistance: considerations for the future of connectivity modelling and conservation science

Landscape Ecology, 2022
Landscape connectivity, the extent to which a landscape facilitates the flow of ecological processes such as organism movement, has emerged as a central focus of landscape ecology and conservation science.

Bringing Community Ecology to Bear on the Issue of Antimicrobial Resistance

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global concern, pertaining not only to human health but also to the health of industry and the environment. AMR research has traditionally focused on genetic exchange mechanisms and abiotic environmental constraints ...

Implications of indoor microbial ecology and evolution on antibiotic resistance

Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, 2019
The indoor environment is an important source of microbial exposures for its human occupants. While we naturally want to favor positive health outcomes, built environment design and operation may counter-intuitively favor negative health outcomes ...

Refining the NaV1.7 pharmacophore of a class of venom‐derived peptide inhibitors via a combination of in silico screening and rational engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

The soil resistome: a critical review on antibiotic resistance origins, ecology and dissemination potential in telluric bacteria.

Environmental Microbiology, 2015
Soil is a large reservoir of microbial diversity and the majority of antimicrobial compounds used today in human and veterinary health care have been isolated from soil microorganisms. The Darwinian hypothesis of an 'arms-shields race' between antibiotic

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Rapid emergence and mechanisms of resistance by U87 glioblastoma cells to doxorubicin in an in vitro tumor microfluidic ecology

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Significance Drug resistance is among the most critical problems in cancer treatment. This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that a combination of in vitro microecology and deep sequencing could provide an extremely efficient method to elucidate the ...

Maillard Type Reaction for Electroless Copper Plating onto Ceramic Nanoparticles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the manufacturing of copper‐plated ceramic nanoparticles in an environmentally friendly way. Supported by organic functionalizations with pectin an electroless plating step can be performed. Sustainable reagents like xylose, and several amino acids are used for the reduction process.

KupferDigital: Ontology‐Based Digital Representation for the Copper Life Cycle

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is demonstrated how data from different stages in the life cycle of a copper product can be stored in an ontology‐based data space. In order to showcase the methods and tools used in the project, four use cases are presented that show how data from different sources can be semantically described and queried from a shared data space.
