Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

RODENT CONTROL PROBLEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 1970
None of the so-called developing countries has an adequate rodent control program at present. In only a few of these countries is any rodent control research occurring despite the fact that rodent problems are actually quite serious in many regions and ...

Attracting birds of prey for rodent control [PDF]

open access: yes
Rodents are an increasing problem in fields and pastures. Birds of prey play a vital part in integrated pest management of rodent pests. This publication succinctly describes the value to farmers and ranchers of barn owls and American kestrels for rodent

Host selection and influencing factors of parasitic fleas on the body surface of desert rodents, Inner Mongolia, China

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Fleas frequently parasitize rodents and serve as major vectors for many zoonotic diseases. The Alxa Desert in Inner Mongolia, China, is a typical arid region in Asia, which is suitable for the coexistence of a variety of rodents in this environment ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Dilemmas in the Management of Liminal Rodents—Attitudes of Dutch Pest Controllers

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
When non-human animals are labeled as ‘pests’, their moral status and welfare seem relatively unimportant. In a multi-stakeholder project, we develop an assessment frame for a more responsible rodent management that includes animal welfare.

Socio-cultural factors influencing the adoption of ecologically based rodent pest management

open access: yes, 2006
Ecologically based rodent pest management (EBRM) offers an alternative and more effective approach than the reactive use of rodenticides following high losses in rice crops. EBRM combines both cultural and physical rodent management practices, requires a

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Rodent pest management in East Africa—an ecological approach

open access: yes, 1999
Rodent Pest Management in East AfricaRodents are by far the greatest vertebrate pest problem in East Africa. They are responsible for substantial damage to food and cash crops, structures and industrial and domestic property.
