How are seed banks and seed rain affected after 30 years of exotic grass cultivation?
RodriguésiaThe conversion of different forest formations into pastures with exotic grasses leads to irreversible damage over time. However, the dispersal of diaspores from adjacent areas and the formation of seed banks can influence regeneration processes.

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.
