Structurally competent care for families facing the continuous traumatic stress of community violence and systemic racism

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract In racially and economically segregated communities, structural violence and chronic adversity perpetuate the risk for community violence and related trauma exposure. Despite widespread awareness of community violence, urban youth of color are among those least likely to have access to services that promote trauma recovery. When these youth do

Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a worldwide, complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Around 15–20% of PD cases are linked to genetic mutations, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis.

A tipping point for tipping points

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tipping points (TPs) – often understood as abrupt changes to a system – have become a popular framework for ecology and environmental science across spatial and temporal scales. The underlying, quantitative foundation of TP theory is built on mathematical models from catastrophe and predator–prey theories.

Scientific Racism and the "Colour Line"

Skin colour is a visual marker of difference and has been employed to justify the enslavement of people and their exploitation to build the empires of the western world. Slave trade is an integral part of the story of ‘civilisation’ and conquest. Though the impact of racial discrimination unfolded in different ways in different parts of the world, the ...

Birds of many feathers? Examining perceptions among US birders following the American Ornithological Society's eponymous renaming decision

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2023, the American Ornithological Society announced it will phase out the English eponymous (honorific) names of 152 bird species in the United States and Canada, some of which are named after historical figures with racist, genocidal, or otherwise violent histories that serve as reminders of ornithology's exclusive origins.

Unveiling power, or why social science's task is explanation

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This short essay contends that sociology should devote attention to causal explanation in order to expose lies. It argues that lies about causes are common in society and social science is in a unique privileged position to offer social knowledge that can dispel such lies. Offering causal explanations is a vital task of this project.

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Microvesicles Alleviate Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Rats by Inhibiting Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Excessive neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) extrusion (NETosis) links prenatal inflammation to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) pathogenesis. Treatment with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell‐derived microvesicles suppresses NET formation, reduces lung injury, and promotes alveolarization in a preterm rat model, offering a promising cell‐free

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Baicalein Sensitizes Radioresistant BT549 and MCF7‐R Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Rac1 Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by
