Veterinary students’ choices of clinical extramural placements are associated with their final‐year examination performance

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background UK veterinary students must complete 20 weeks of clinical extramural studies (EMS) in placements of their choice. We investigated the associations between EMS choices and performance in the final‐year ‘livestock and One Health’, ‘equine’ and ‘small animal’ written examinations.

Identifying regulatory muscle processes in infantile and adult Pompe patients using a multi‐omic and morphological approach

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
The study highlights differences in the regulatory processes of skeletal muscle, such as sarcomeric contractility, lysosomal and autophagic function, metabolic activity and immune regulation, at transcriptomic and proteomic levels in infantile and adult Pompe disease.

Quantitative Metrics for Edge Bundling of Network Visualizations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Edge bundling is widely used for reducing visual clutter in large 2D network and trajectory visualizations. Various edge bundling methods have been proposed, each producing qualitatively distinct outputs for the same data; however, few quantitative metrics exist for systematic evaluation. In this paper, we propose a set of quantitative metrics

Microbial transformation of secondary bile acids: roles in gut ecology and autoimmune diseases

Frontiers in Immunology
Secondary bile acids (SBAs) attracted interest due to their regulatory functions in gut microbial ecology and immune responses. These intricate microbial transformations decisively shape the biochemical properties of SBAs.

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Fecal bile acid dysmetabolism and reduced ursodeoxycholic acid correlate with novel microbial signatures in feline chronic kidney disease

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundMicrobial-derived secondary bile acids (SBAs) are reabsorbed and sensed via host receptors modulating cellular inflammation and fibrosis. Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs with progressive renal inflammation and fibrosis, mirroring the

The Legal Architecture of De‐Europeanisation: Managing Border Conflicts After Brexit

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Scholarship on the Europeanisation of border conflicts explains how closer integration can transform them. This article addresses the reverse case. It examines how the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom have managed the de‐Europeanisation of three border conflicts – Northern Ireland, Gibraltar and the UK Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus –

Saponin-based adjuvant uptake and induction of antigen cross-presentation by CD11b+ dendritic cells and macrophages

npj Vaccines
Saponin-based adjuvants (SBAs) distinguish themselves as vaccine adjuvants by instigating a potent activation of CD8+ T cells. Previously, we discovered SBA’s ability to induce cross-presentation in dendritic cells (DCs) leading to CD8+ T cell activation.

Sugarcane breeding array 1.0: A high‐density SNP chip for genomic studies and molecular breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Sugarcane Breeding Array 1.0, a high‐density single‐nucleotide polymorphism array, is based on deep whole‐genome resequencing of diverse sugarcane accessions. Validation demonstrated its robust performance and cost‐effectiveness in population structure analysis, genome‐wide association studies, and molecular breeding applications.

A multivariate geostatistical framework to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of coupled urban–thermal–ecological interactions in the western Himalaya foothills

Geosystems and Geoenvironment
Thermal stress and ecosystem degradation are being accelerated by rapid urbanization in ecologically sensitive mountain valleys. Nevertheless, there are still few integrated multi-decadal evaluations that connect coupled thermal-ecological processes with
